Description of the problem	I took my vehicle to my regular independent mercedes-benz mechanic because there was strong gasoline smell inside the passenger area of the car and i noticed there was a small puddle of gasoline under the car whenever i filled up my tank. My mechanic inspected the car and found gasoline pooled up in the recess where the fuel pump attached to the fuel tank. He informed me that the leaking fuel posed a serious safety hazard and could possibly lead to a fire, or even a possible explosion should i park inside my garage. He said the water heater pilot light or any other source of spark could ignite the fumes and burn my house down. In addition, he stated he had seen this same problem many times before and that mercedes-benz has been aware of the problem for many years but refuses to accept that they had installed a defective part in the thousands of vehicles of this model they produced. It would simply be too expensive to remedy. If i wanted it repaired it would be at my own expense since mercedes-benz is accepting no responsibility for this known issue. The leak has caused my vehicle to be unsafe to operate.
