Description of the problem	I purchased a 2005 mercedes benz e320 which has been garaged and very lightly driven. (only on weekends or days off) after six months and refueling a few times i started to notice an odor of gas in the cabin of the vehicle. This odor has gotten worse and stronger over time. The odor is also noticeable in the garage as well as around the exterior of the car. This seems like an indication that more gas is present and possibly leaking somewhere near the gas tank. I am fearful of driving it as the concern over fire is present as my kids ride in the rear seat. I would appreciate someone looking into/investigating this to see if it is indeed a mercedes problem and possible recall prospect.
