Description of the problem	My w211 began to smell of fuel while parked in my garage. Several weeks later, i awoke to a very strong gas smell in my garage. When i moved the car out, a puddle of gas was beneath my car and it literally poured fuel out as i backed it down the driveway. I took the car in for repair at the dealer and they replaced two seals and declared it good. The next day, i filled the car again and it smelled just as bad as before. The dealer replaced the seals and the pump modules and it took over a month to get the smell out of the car. Approximately six weeks later, i'm not noticing a faint smell of gas yesterday and a stronger smell today. I discussed with mercedes benz usa and they said that the car was repaired under a 'technical service bulletin' in 2008, but it's becoming clear that the problem is not going away. The fuel pump modules are in sealed compartments underneath the passenger seat, which communicates with the interior. Additionally, fuel can pool in this area - with the electrical connections for the fuel pumps.
