Description of the problem	After filling the gas tank over 3/4 full there is a strong fuel odor outside the car from the driver rear wheel well area. The odor is strong enough that the car cannot be parked in a closed garage. The odor persists until the fuel level is back below 3/4 full. The issue repeats consistently every time it is filled over 3/4 full so i am unable to ever fill the tank completely. The service campaign #2008020001 for the fuel filter module was performed at park place mercedes in august 2008. Shortly afterward i started getting some bad fuel odor inside and outside the car so the work was redone be the dealer in september 2008. The issue reappeared in 2012 about 30k miles later.
