Description of the problem	Please help to encourage mercedes benz to replace to new gas tank part #211-470-0502, for all their cars that have this defective gas tank part # 211-470-4201! On 10-24-2012 i came into mercedes benz dealership because i smelled gas and oil. The dealership misdiagnosed the gas smell to be the sending units, replacing them. List: (211-470-40-94 auxiliary pu, 211-471-05-79 seal ring, 5088 parts cleaner). Then on jan 28, 2013, when i came in for my annual inspection, the dealership said that the fuel tank was leaking and said that needed to be replaced. Mercedes benz dealership had misdiagnosed the sending units when it should have been the gas tank on 10-24-2012. Mercedes benz, old gas tank part # 211-470-4201, replaced by new gas tank part 211-470-0502. The reason why this is so important that mercedes benz replace all tanks out there is because it only takes a small spark from rubbing your foot on the carpet, to an accident or lighting up a cigarette for this to create an explosion, because the gas tank is in the back seat of the car. I have two invoices that i paid for bad parts and replacing a defective gas tank on this mercedes benz. I am very concerned that mercedes benz has cars on the road that are an accident away from blowing up! A gas tank that is leaking gas in the back seat of my car is not something i would have paid over $56,000 for when i purchased my car! What about all the cars that were sold and all the people who don't even know and may be in danger? Please look into the defective gas tank that was put on all the 2006 mercedes e350 cars. This should be recalled and replaced at expense of mercedes benz!
