Description of the problem	We recently purchased a 2004 e320 with 71000 miles in august 2012. Last week, now with 74000 miles, we noticed a strong gas smell in the car. After doing some research online and in mercedes forums we concluded that it may be the fuel unit. We pulled the rear seat and took off the cap and noticed a pool of gas, right under where our 2 yr olds car seat is, about 2 cups that i took out by soaking numerous papertowels. I also took pictures just in case it may be needed it the future. Throughout all my searches online i've noticed that this problem is very common in the e class and numerous people have tried to resolve it through mercedes but nothing has been done. A recall was issued for the e55 trim but no other, which makes us wonder why. We will not drive it until it gets fixed (as of today it has not been ) because we feel it is not safe for our family to have a pool of gas with electrical wires right beneath our seats.
