Description of the problem	I believe this is related to nhtsa action number ea13003. There appear to be complaints by others as well for the 2007 c230 regarding this issue. Basically, whenever i fill up my tank, i smell gas outside of the car, not inside. The smell seems to be strongest at the right side passenger mirror door area near the hood of the car. Then after a gallon or two has been used, the smell goes away. It took me a while to reproduce and identify this pattern because i don't refill my tank all that often (i drive about 2k miles a year.) i first started noticing this smell around june 2014 after i had my spark plugs replaced due to the recommended age limits. At first i thought it was due to that. So i took my car to the dealership and they identified a leak after i described my problem. I have lost all confidence in mercedes due to a number of issues on my low mileage car, that i started researching this in google and discovered other people describing the same problem of fuel odor when the tank is full. This leak also corroborates what i have noticed on the fuel gauge; the fuel gauge drops from full to 3/4 full after driving about about 25 miles or so. That can't be right because 25 miles or so is not even 2 gallons of fuel, and the tank holds about 13 gallons, unless there is a leak. Please see if the problem which affected the e class models from the same time period is affecting the c class model. Thank you.
