Description of the problem	On 7/23/14, i noticed a strong odor of gasoline emanating from the inside and outside of my car after refueling. I purchased a certified pre-owned w211 2006 mercedes benz e500 from mercedes-benz greenway. I researched the issue online and discovered that the gas odor issue i was experiencing may be related to a problem being seen in numerous mercedes benz e-model vehicles. As advised by the other owners having this issue, i detached the rear seat cushion from the car and removed the bolts from the circular access panel that covers a portion of the fuel tank on the driver's side of the vehicle. In the depression on top of the gas tank where numerous electrical wires attach to the fuel sending unit, i found a significant quantity of raw gasoline pooled. This presented a very unsafe situation and i was no longer willing to park the vehicle in my garage due to the potential fire hazard. The pooling of raw gasoline also represents an environmental issue due to the evaporation and creation of toxic fumes. I took photos of the raw gasoline sitting on the fuel sending unit. Mercedes-benz of sugarland demanded $1,022. 57 to rectify the problem by removing and replacing both fuel sending units/pumps in my vehicle. Mercedes-benz of sugarland did not return my old parts after i requested them. I feel that the manufacturer of this defective component should be held responsible to recall it and replace it. I understand that the nhtsa's current investigation action numbers for this issue are pe-12001 and ea-13003. Read more: http://mbworld.
