Description of the problem	After returning home from the filling station and parking my e350 mercedes in the garage, i noticed a strong fuel smell outside the driver's side rear of the vehicle, and to a lesser extent inside the car. I was certain i had not somehow "over-filled" it, and after repeated fuelings since then, i know that is not the case. This problem is occurring when the tank is above 3/4-full. It progressively lessens as the amount of fuel in the tank is reduced. I took the car to the mercedes dealer (where i bought it new) and they advised that the fuel-sending unit is leaking. They wanted $659 for the repair which i declined as i wanted to first do some research and possibly get another quote since the price was absurd. I was then astounded to learn that this is a very common problem on these expensive vehicles, with numerous complaints documented within various automotive forums and filings with the nhtsa. It is wrong that a fundamental part like this should leak fuel. This is not a part that should require any service and in most circumstances should be expected to last the life of the vehicle. There are millions of other vehicles out there without such problems. So, clearly mercedes did not get it right on their design. I am now concerned about parking the car in my garage since it presents a safety hazard due to the fumes. I expect this problem will only get worse. Mercedes needs to step-up and retrofit these vehicles now instead of leaving it up to the consumer to absorb the cost of their manufacturing mistake.
