| Description of the problem | My 2006 mercedes e350 smells of strong gas fumes every time i fill the tank. I never top off the tank and nothing ever spills out but the smell is very strong. The gas fumes are present for several days making my garage smell of gas. The problem seems to get better once the fuel level reaches about a half tank. I am worried about a fire or someone breathing the fumes in my garage. I have read numerous stories on the internet about this issue with various mercedes models. |
