Description of the problem	After filling up the gas tank to full, i drove my vehicle home and noticed a distinct gasoline smell in the garage a few hours later. The next morning, the smell in the garage was even stronger and upon opening the doors of the vehicle, it was clear that the gas smell was coming from the vehicle and was strongest inside. In november 2012, crown automobile, a mercedes-benz dealership, performed service on the car and "found the right side fuel level sensor seal leaking". The seal was replaced and the fuel tank was refilled and checked for leaks. At that time, no leaks were found. However, the smell has reappeared and is consistent with other complaints about this vehicle. *js
