Description of the problem	After filling up the gas tank i noticed a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin while at a stoplight. Upon returning home, the car was shut off and could smell the gasoline on the drivers side exterior. After the car was sitting in the driveway for roughly 3 hours, we noticed a "pool" of gasoline on the driveway surface. Contact with mercedes-benz of waco revealed that the technicians there have done many tank/sending unit replacements as these are "known to fail and being out of warranty these repairs would cost no less than $1800 out of pocket and will likely not fix the problem.
