Description of the problem	Started to smell gas fumes in the garage after driving. Condition worsened quickly within weeks and filled my garage with fumes where my home water heater is placed. Did research saw there was a recall for the fuel sending unit fuel leaks out of the sending unit and complaints that mb replaced the unit with the same faulty unit so the condition will reappear.... Very dangerous. This causes fault codes, the engine does not get gasoline and sputters and cuts out. I had to move the car outside because of the fire/explosion potential. Took car to dealership, they advised the recall had been performed once already and would look at the car. Dealer sent this email qoute unqoute: "both sender units for the fuel system are both leaking from where it exits the tank. They require replacing this is very dangerous if neglected. Parts and labor is $1946. 08 parts are special order and i can have the vehicle done wednesday. Please email me back so we can get the car back to you as soon as possible." obviously, no mention of recall or the ability to work with me. Here is my response: mb recall campaign #2008-020001 from 2008.
