Description of the problem	I had/have a strong fuel smell after filling my tank. I reported this to the local mercedes dealer, modesto european, back in early 2012, but was told the vehicle was past the warranty period so to investige would cost $129/hour (i think that was the number) and would t take up to 4 hours to diagonse; and then i would still be liable for any needed repairs. Since i did not see gas leaking, i put off the inspection thinking i would as some point see gas leaking if it were a major problem. I still get the gas smell every time i fill up, but never saw gas on my garage floor or elsewhere. This week i learned from a repair shop which is not a mercedes dealer that this is a very typical problem with these cars and it was suggested i contact you to see if there has been any ntsa action on this problem.
