Description of the problem	In the original instance, which happened about 3 years ago, every time that i would do a complete fill up with gas, the car would smell like gas horribly in the cabin as well as outside the car. After that started happening, i refrained from filling the car up completely to avoid the problem. The problem has returned and my car has roughly 132000 miles on it. I filled up my car and noticed a horrible gas smell. I looked under the car and noticed very large puddles of gas literally running away from my car. My car is leaking gas profusely only upon complete fill up. It is coming from beneath the car under what would be the rear passenger's seat, nearly in line with the rear wheels. This item was supposedly repaired once before by the mercedes dealership in bakersfield, ca. I paid for the entire repair if i remember correctly.
