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

Issue ID	1004750
Internal NHTSA #	10536336
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E320
Model Year	2005
File date	09/02/12
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When the fuel tank is filled 100% there is a very strong fuel odor, which can be smelled in the outdoors but is extremely strong when parked in the attached garage. This odor is so strong that it enters the house, and we have to leave the garage door wide open for fear of a spark causing a fire. If one looks under the car there is no dripping. The odor does not go away until the fuel tank is no longer completely full. The fuel leak stops after we are down a couple gallons from completely full fuel tank. I have pulled the back seat and seen that the there is gasoline pooling around the fuel pump (fuel delivery module). I am concerned that a rear end collision would cause the leaking fuel to combust.
