Description of the problem	I purchased my car used at 132000 miles. This was a pre existing condition that dealer didn't mention anything about, because the next day i filled the tank as it was sold to me with less than 1/4 tank, now i know why, i got a very strong odor of gas that filled my garage and smelled inside the car as well. This happens every time i fill the tank. It also sets a check engine light. Dealership i purchased the car from (not a mercedes benz dealership) refuses any responsibility for the problem. Check engine light code is "evaporative emission leak detected (small leak)". Also because of the issue my gas light will randomly start blinking and when i accelerate the center display beeps lights up red and said check fuel cap. Fuel cap is fine, i think it's related to the leak.
