 Description of the problemI had just purchased the car the day before (april 28, 2012). When i filled the fuel tank, i notice a strong smell of gasoline. This has occurred every time i fill the car with fuel. At first i thought it was a fuel injector leaking down and something i would have to address in the near future. However, last week i went to drive the car after i had just filled the tank with fuel. The car was in my garage and the smell of gasoline was very strong. I noticed a puddle of fluid in front of the left rear tire. My first reaction was it was condensation from the air conditioning system. I bent down to look at it and then i notice a separate condensation tail coming from the middle of the car. I sampled the fluid stream from the middle of the car and indeed it was water. However when i looked at the other puddle, i notice a constant and rapid drip coming from the shield under the gas tank. When i sampled the puddle it was pure gasoline. This was most disconcerting as this fuel leak is very close to the exhaust and the brakes. Either one of which could ignite the fuel. I am a mechanical engineer with considerable auto racing experience, so i know how dangerous this can be. I called mercedes benz of sugar land on monday (11/12/12) and talked to a service representative. I told him of the fuel leak and he told me there was no reported issues and no service bulletins for such a problem. I was also told to bring the car in and they would repair it at my expense. Having paid my way through my first degree as a mechanic as well as designing racing equipment for ford motor company, i believe this should be covered under warranty as part of the emission system. This is of course secondary and in addition to the obvious safety hazard this condition presents.
