| Description of the problem | I have had two earlier attempts in 2011 to fix a strong gasoline smell from my mercedes benz e550 2007 did not fully resolve the problem. Finally, in october of 2012 (approx. 10/10/12) mercedes benz did replace under warranty the entire gasoline tank and related lines and connection. This did resolve the problem of gasoline smell in my garage after gasoline tank fill-up. No gas leaks ever noticed or fire ever occur. Thanks very much for your efforts to inform and protect consumers of mercedes benz e550 2007. |
