Description of the problem	I have a 2004 mercedes benz e55 amg ,i'm the second owner of the car bought it on december 2012 with odometer reading 118,000 during that time. I hardly used this vehicle because i have couple of daily driver car. Couple of month ago i smells a strong gas smell inside the car and engine check was on. I went to my mechanic to check it and he cannot find where is it coming from. So i took home my car and didn't drive it for awhile. I only use it occasionally and until the smells is no longer coming. Yesterday , november 22,2014 , iused the car for work and everything seems normal. On my way home i went to fill up the gas full tank ,when i look at the other side of my car ,from driver side rear passenger area ,i saw a pool of gas coming form that area underneath the passenger rear seat area but coming from the metal lid of the car. Its kind of strong and the gasoline guy need to apply some chemicals on the surface of the tank where park my car during fill ups. Its kind of strong dripped and i decided to tow it to my mechanic on midnight. I do not want to drive it home because it might catch fire because its near the exhaust under the passenger rear seat. I went online while waiting for the towing truck and realized that there is a similar cases like this on this model,there is a recall for this car and im not sure if the original owner experience this before. What kind of assistance i can get from your agency to make sure this issue is taking care of. Its not very safe for me to use this car with this conditions and im sure mercedes benz will do charge arm and legs for this faulty design for this model year. Please let me know how to handle this problem and how can i get this fix through recall issues that nhtsa has issued for this model. Looking forward to hear from your agency . Thank you
