| I filled up my car with gas on friday, may 4, 2012 and then went out. i parked my car on the road and came back to it a couple hours later. there was an overpowering gasoline smell in the area as i walked by and thought it was another car or gas was dumped on the road. a couple hours later i got into my car and drove home. the gas smell was still in the area when i left. i parked my car at home and checked it on saturday morning. the gas smell was less so i parked the car on the road thinking it would be safe. in the evening, i walked past my car and the gas smell was strong again. i called my local mercedes dealer on monday morning regarding the leak and let them know about the gas smell and that the gas gauge dropped a couple of bars even though i had only drive 13 miles. i towed the car in and the service advisor called back with the result: there was a tear in the seal that is a part of the fuel pump/sending unit. the sa called back later to tell me diagnosed the right side fuel pump has a hole burnt through housing causing fuel to leak out near connector housing. this situation is very dismaying and scary as the car had the same fuel pumps replaced under a recall in 2008. the worst thing is there was a burn in the fuel pump housing which could have ended in a much worse situation with a full fuel tank... updated 05/17/12 *bf | |||

| After filling up the gas tank in my 2005 mercedes benz e55 up with gasoline, there are overwhelming gasoline fumes that engulf the interior and is also prevalent from the outside of the car. when entering my closed garage after a gas fill up, the entire garage is engulfed by the very strong and distinct odor of gasoline. to further the description, please refer to the current investigation with the nhtsa action number: pe12001 as reference to what is happening with my vehicle. thank you for your assistance. | |||
