| Description of the problem | Filled up my 2007 mercedes e350 on 1/4/14 and came home. I was awakened by a strong odor of gas smell. Went into the garage and was meet with even a stronger odor of gasoline. This is a dangerous situation due to the fact that my water heaters are located in my garage and i don't want to have an explosion due to the vapors. I have noticed multiple complaints on this issue and an investigation is being done. I just hope that no one is injured or killed before something is done to take care of this. |
