Description of the problem	2004 mercedes e55 amg leaking fuel after every fill. Very strong fuel smell inside the vehicle after filling up (stopped fill before click). Repaired passenger side fuel sending unit under back seat at mb service but issue is still occurring after repair. During a 6 or 7 month period, mercedes has tried to fix on 5 occasions without success. They replaced all kinds of sensors in the engine dept and had the car for over a month but the issue was with the fuel related parts. They miss diagnosed the problem for the first 6 months. Finally mb diagnosed the issue late 2010 and replaced one of the sending units, the sending units were also replaced under recall for this vehicle in july 2008. Mb stated the car was now repaired but after leaving the dealership the check engine light came on again. The car has now failed air care, an additional expense. All issues relate to fuel tank, evap valve and defective fuel sending units. Hesitation, check engine light, rough engine operation fuel leaks and smell. This is clearly a safety issue, fuel vapors are combustible. Now mercedes has washed their hands of the issue and we (consumers and owners of e55 amg's) are left to repair the problem at our expense. The recall campaign #2008-020001 in 2008 has resulted in repeated failures of the sending units however mercedes benz is not taking responsibility. There are over 40 owners of these vehicles on line with exactly the same issues. Mb usa needs to accept responsibility and recall these vehicles for a fuel cell safety issue. There is a potential for combustible fuel vapors and i pray it does not happen before mb usa takes responsibility. Although the number of owners are only approximately 40 at this point, there may be many more out there with the e-class mb fuel leak issue. Mb usa needs to own up to the problem.
