Issue ID	1052927
Internal NHTSA #	10576327

Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	C
Model Year	2007
File date	29/03/10
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Very strong smell of gasoline in passenger compartment every time gas tank is refilled. Smell gradually abates as the level of gas in the tank drops. Concern regarding fire hazard due to leaking gas. Appears to be a long-standing problem. I have contacted mercedes-benz and there has been a technical bulletin issued on the problem, but no fix was suggested and i am not aware of any recall being issued. This problem needs to be investigated by nhtsa, as it may be related to other reports of spontaneous fires occurring in these vehicles and this presents an imminent safety risk for drivers and passengers.
