| I own a 2008 mercedes e350 4matic. after a trip, with the car sitting at the airport for a week in warm weather, i entered the car and noticed a strong gasoline odor. i vented the car and drove home. the odor remained. subsequently i had the car put on a lift and there was a stain coming down around the sides of the gas tank. i also removed the rear seat and noticed that the seat foam was saturated with a gasoline smell directly above the access panel for what i believe is the fuel pump assembly. i understand from local mechanics that this may be a frequent occurence with mb e series cars. this leads to a very dangerous situation in terms of potential fire/explosion as well as excessive evaporative emissions. mb usa stated that they do not have an active recall campaign for this problem. | |||
