| Description of the problem | The fuel pump and/or gasket is leaking gasoline into the area under the back seat on the drivers side. The first time we noticed the problem was on nov 1, 2012, but it has happened several times since then. We can no longer fill the tank to the full position without fuel leaking. We have replaced the fuel gasket, but it has since leaked again. This is a great safety concern to me, and it should be corrected by mercedes benz at no cost to me. |
