I filled the vehicle up with gas and it started smelling very strong of gas for the next two weeks and I discovered gas underneath the driver's rear seat. . . I cleaned up the gas but continued to smell strong fuel vapors and I'm just below three quarters of a tank the 15-year warranty is over. The mercedes dealer says that they can't do anything for free and I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be rectified before someone dies in an explosion. . . No warning lights showed up but it is a common problem on the e-class due to a cracked fuel filter housing module.
The seal that connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel tank has failed, allowing fuel to leak onto the top of the tank when it’s filled. This creates a serious risk of fire or explosion. Unfortunately, mercedes does not offer a remedy unless you pay a prohibitively high fee.
