Description of the problem	I bought the car in may of 2011. Upon purchase i noticed a smell of fuel after i would top the tank off. I had a dealer repair it (~$800) and then noticed it again this past winter (dec 2012). It is the same problem as before, leaking (fumes only) just on top of the tank under the back seat. It is the exact same issue as described in articles i have read about the nhtsa investigation of mercedes-benz e-classes. This is a problem, i believe it should be recalled.
