Description of the problem	Prior to incident date, i began to smell a strong gasoline smell that filled the garage. The smell got progressively worse so i took it to ewing autohaus in plano, texas on 08-31-11. The car was diagnosed as having a fuel leak and needed a new fuel tank that would cost $2000. 00 to fix. I questioned why a new fuel tank was needed since the car had never been in an accident. I was not given an answer and refused to have them fix it. I was later told that the gasoline was leaking from the top and as long as the tank was not completely full the gasoline would not leak. I took the car into mercedes benz park place dallas for a transmission issue in january of 2013 and i asked them to check the fuel tank and they diagnosed the fuel tank also as having a leak and needed to be replace. This repair would cost $3000. 00. I declined this repair also and stated to them that i felt that the car had a faulty fuel tank as well as a faulty transmission and was i was extremely upset having to smell gasoline inside and outside of the car if the tank was a little bit overfilled .
