Related to case# ea13003 I recently purchased a pre-owned 2008 E550 with 59k miles in December 2014. After fill-up, I noticed a faint fuel smell on the drivers rear area near the rear wheel. I have also opened up the access hatch and noticed fuel seeping from the sending unit. This seems to be the exact issues I have seen in regards to case #ea13003. This smell goes away after the tank level goes below 3/4.
