| Description of the problem | My car is having a extremely strong gasoline smell inside and outside of my car after i fill up the car. I have not seen any gasoline leak on the ground. But the smell inside and around the car is getting worse as time goes by and now i am afraid to park the car in the garage. I started noticing the smell 8-10 months ago and it has been getting worse after fill up. The smell is noticeable after the the tank is half empty. This is a serious risk that needs to be addressed by mercedes benz. Mostly i smell the gas when the car is parked. The rear seat passengers have complained about the strong smell when the car is moving as well. |
