| Description of the problem | I filled my gas tank and the next day i smelled gas both near my drivers side wheel well and inside the car in the rear seat area. I filled the car as i always did until click and i am sure none spilled, as i am very fussy about my car. I cannot put the car in the garage as it fills the garage with fumes. This has happened twice now upon fueling up. It never happened before. I have seen where others i know have the same type of problem with the same model mercedes. |
