Description of the problem	Filled up the vehicle and drove it approximately three miles to my home, parked vehicle in the garage. Later that evening i noticed a very strong fuel odor in the garage. Did some research on a couple mercedes owners online forums that indicate that fuel leakage is a common issue with my 2003-2009 e series models. Removed the vehicle rear seat (fuel tank is located under seat) and the screwed-down inspection seal to view the fuel sending unit. Observed a significant quantity of fuel puddled on the top of the fuel sending unit. See photo at: http://screencast. Com/t/aufw5k7lqz clearly there is a fuel leak and from my research this is a common issue with the 2003-2009 mercedes e series models. From what i've seen, mercedes dealers will not repair this issue under warranty or recall and typically charge $1500-2500 for repairs.
