Description of the problem	Filled my gas tank with fuel and subsequently after filling up and getting back inside the vehicle i could smell a strong odor of fuel inside the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a friends house down the street got on the internet to research the problem and found out theres an existing problem with the top of the fuel tank that has explained theres a seal problem. I took the rear seat out of the vehicle to access the area along with some other nuts and bolts and found a pool of fuel sitting on the top of the fuel tank. After putting everything back together i noticed underneath the vehicle it had leaked onto the pavement. I am very concerned the vehicle is not safe and mercedes is aware of the problem and hasnt done anything to address the situation. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you
