| Description of the problem | I smell strong gas odor at rear driver side, when i get the full tank of gas. I went to a shop and lift the car that i can see the gas leak around the tank. I just want to say this kind of leaking very dangerous, because under the tank is exhaust pipe. That would be fired when too much gas leaking and no mil light come on. Also no any recall for the problem when i call to ask the mb dealer. |
