2005 Mercedes benz E320 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	946008
Internal NHTSA #	10480056
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E320
Model Year	2005
File date	06/02/12
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Every time the car is filled up with gas, there is a very strong gas smell inside and outside of the vehicle. Removed the back seat and the plate that covers the fuel sending unit and gas puddles up around the seal of the sending unit. Had seal replaced, but that only helped for about a month. It only does this when tank is full (probably due to the pressure in the tank). This problem seems to be getting worse and i try to avoid filling tank completely, but sometimes it's hard to tell when it's getting close to full. The problem only seems to occur on the driver's side of the car, even though there is also a sending unit on the passenger side.
