2011 Mercedes benz E350 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1310869
Internal NHTSA #	10897482
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E350
Model Year	2011
File date	29/07/16
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	All of a sudden, one day after filling my tank, there's now an overwhelming gas smell present both ~20 feet away from vehicle, and inside the car. It is so bad, i have to leave windows down for 20-30 minutes while driving before the environment becomes tolerable with the windows up. I have read that other similar e350 models have this problem, but my newer (2011) year model doesn't appear to be on the extended warranty repair list. I believe i have exactly the same issue others have described because the smell of gas is very strong after a top-off, and gets gradually better, becoming much less noticeable as fuel tank level approaches 1/2 tank and below.
