Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problems of the 2004 Mercedes Benz E320

I filled the gas tank full and on pulling in the garage could smell a strong smell of gasoline. . . Went to get my oil change the next day and the gentleman mentioned he could smell gas coming from my car at valvoline oil change. . . . Very strong smell in the interior of the car as well as when walking around the outside of the car you could smell a strong smell of gas. . . The gentleman from valvoline looked under the car and said there's some type of cover that goes underneath the gas tank itself and put his finger into it and could touch gasoline on his hand. . . I just went onto the internet and read many many complaints of the same thing with this type of car lawsuits have been filed. . . In those complaints the people that brought their car to dealership said that it was very expensive to remedy and that there should have been a recall. . . After driving a little bit and reducing the amount of gasoline in the tank the smell has subsided somewhat. . . Those complaints also mention that it can be very dangerous with this type of leak.

Stong order of gas from left side near back seat area , always after fill up , thought just loose gas cap , removed rear seat and left fuel sending unit cover , found puddle of gas on and round gas tank . Was told from dealer parts dept , very common for seal to weep , replaced ,but still same problem , after last fill up , dried around pump and gas just weeped though top of sending unit , hair line crack I assume , will replace sending unit myself . Disappointed that this doesn't meet recall standards per mercedes.
