general problems of the 2003 Mercedes Benz E55

My car is having a fuel smell and a rough idle. Message pops up to check fuel cap, even though it was replaced with a new one.

Smell of gas in the car checked and found a pool of gas on top of fuel sender below the rear seat behind driver side.

Every time I fill my vehicle up with fuel, there is an overpowering odor of gasoline both outside of the car, and inside the cabin. The smell is strong enough to cause a headache in short order. When removing the back seat of the vehicle, you can observe standing fuel on the fuel sender assembly. I'm unsure if this propagates from the spot of the build up, or is from another place and this is where it ultimately ends up. A large concern for me, besides the exposure to gasoline fumes, is the proximity to the fuel build up to electrical wiring, which I believe would constitute a fire hazard. I previously had a voluntary recall done on my car in 2008 that had to do with the fuel system, but I'm not convinced that actually fixed the root cause of this issue.

My 2003 mercedes E55 amg sedan has a strong smell of fuel coming from the vehicle. I contacted my local dealer and they said the problem was fixed back in 2008. Apparently the problem has not been solved and I fear an explosion from my garage filling up with fumes and 2 sources of fire, my furnace and my water heater.
