Description of the problem	Safety and health issue with fuel leaking from gas tanks and two fuel pumps in 2008 mercedes e350. There is terrible smell in the car that started around august 8, 2014 and has gotten worse. You cannot drive the car because of this smell. We find out from mercedes dealer that this is from corroded seals around gas tank and the two fuel pumps that pump fuel from the gas tank. Gasoline has leaked out and has saturated insulation materials inside the passenger compartment of the car. Apparently gas tank is located inside the passenger compartment under the rear seat. They are wanting to charge us $2,500 to fix and repair the damage - which is due to their faulty seals around the gas tank and fuel pumps - replace the fuel pumps, clean up all the spilled fuel, replace the insulation material and what ever else has been damaged. This should be a recall issue. I see story on internet where this has been reported 533 times as of march 19, 2013. Here is link to article http://www. Usatoday. Com/story/money/cars/driveon/2013/03/19/mercedes-benz-e-class-nhtsa-fuel-leaks-odor/1999263/ how many times does this have to be reported to constitute mercedes doing a recall and addressing this issue at their cost instead of mine? What if someone smokes in the car? Will this explode? You cannot stand the smell as it makes you sick to set in the car. To me that is both a safety issue and a health issue and should be addressed by mercedes. They are saying that the car is old - but 6 years for a mercedes i would not consider old. It should last 15+ in my opinion. I drive this car long distances, many times over 10+ hours in a day. I cannot be in the car with this smell, it will make me sick after less than 1 hour. I drove it for 20 minutes a few days ago and if felt sick the rest of the day....
