Description of the problem	After filling up the gas tank in my 2005 mercedes benz e55 up with gasoline, there are overwhelming gasoline fumes that engulf the interior and is also prevalent from the outside of the car. When entering my closed garage after a gas fill up, the entire garage is engulfed by the very strong and distinct odor of gasoline. This is certainly not normal and indicates that gasoline is leaking somewhere. Additionally, according to my mercedes benz service advisor and a carfax report, the first owner (i am the second owner) had the fuel system repaired when the car had 20,000 miles on it. To further the description, please refer to the current investigation with the nhtsa action number: pe12001 as reference to what is happening with my vehicle. Thank you for your assistance in this critical matter of saftey, my 2 and 4 year old son's sit in the back seat where the faulty fuel tanks and fuel delivery systems are located. Additionally, i frequently have headaches from the strong gasoline odors within the cabin and am afraid that one day i may pass out from the fumes. *js
