Description of the problem	My car has been taken to mercedes benz to address a heavy gasoline vapor each year since i have owned it. This issue has been addressed three times and is only resolved for about 10 months or less when it starts again. The severity is gradual over time until the vapor becomes so strong i can smell it in my home exuding from the garage. I can only control the gasoline vapor by keeping a quarter tank of gas or less. I will be taking it to mercedes for the 4th time this upcoming week. As a physician i understand the dangers of gas vapor and its toxic damage to the body and our environment. I also know i cannot be the only one out there with this problem. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
