Description of the problem	A fuel tank leak was identified by an independent mercedes mechanic. Filling up the car with fuel and parking in garage overnight, always produced a significant gas odor when returning to the garage. It has always done this (second owner at about 25-30kk miles), and i assumed it was just a quirk of filling the tank. I have always serviced the car at a mb dealer, but recently want to a local well recommended independent mechanic for another issue and he asked me if i knew i had a fuel leak. I said no, and he said do you ever smell gas, and clearly this was identified and had stored codes in the car system that i was unaware of. He indicated that the sending unit needed to be replaced and crack repaired and it was a safety issue. I called mb usa, and they indicated they were unaware of any of other complaints to this nature. When i questioned why the dealer would never have identified this, they indicated that they would never instruct their dealers in any way regarding an issue like this and the dealer has no incentive to not identify the issue and i should discuss with them. I proceeded to have the repair done by the independent mechanic. I understand that fuel would pool over the gas tank from the leak.
