Description of the problem	During april/march of 2011, i noticed after filling up the car fully of 18 gallons at the gas station, the next two days the car would smell like gas when parked in my 2 car garage. Once i stepped into the garage, there was an overwhelming smell of gas. Googled this on the web and found mbworld. Org where common cases for the e class model. Pulled the rear back seats and saw that gas was pooling around the rim of the fuel sending unit. Somehow fuel had seeped up past the gasket/unit. Having a less than 2yr old sitting right above the rear back seat, i felt this needed to be taken care of asap. Took to american service center, arlington, va mercedes dealer. I found a tsb regarding the fuel sending unit that would be replaced free of charge. Vin was pulled and showed this already was done on my vehicle. Basically i had to pay out of pocket $956 to get a new fuel sending unit put in. So far no fuel smells, but am aware that this is just a quick fix. My 2006 e500 4matic that i also own is starting to have this smell now when filled up. Will be taking it to the dealer as well, but i have cpo warranty from the dealer which will cover the repairs.
