Description of the problem	Our car was purchased off lease around november 2008. It had 47,000 miles on it when we purchased it. We noticed that when we filled the gas tank up the gas fumes were strong in the garage since the time we purchased the car. In march 2012 the check engine light came on while on a trip shortly after that gas tank was filled. I read the manual and stopped by an auto zone and they told me it was probably due to the gas cap being loose and the fuel tank loosing pressure and they cleared the warning. The light has come on a few times since then and i have had it cleared twice at auto zone since i did not think there was a big problem and i was in between services. Within the last six months i have had it the mercedes service department and they told me they did not know why the check engine light was on and that they did not have enough time to find out what was wrong. Yesterday, september 25, 2013, i went to a mercedes benz specialists, local mechanic that only works on mercedes and uses mercedes parts, for an annual oil change and checkup and asked him to check out the problem that the mercedes service department did not know what was wrong. He tested the fuel tank using a system to detect leaks and noted that the top of the fuel tank had a crack and i need to replace the fuel tank and it would cost $2,082. Over the past few years i just filled the tank to half or three fourths so it would not emit fumes, however, i filled it up for a trip last week and you could smell the fumes badly in the car. Our car has about 134000 miles on it now. *js
