Description of the problem	After filling the gas tank, i parked the car in my attached garage the next day the gas fumes were so strong inside my basement that i called my plumber, thinking i had a gas leak from the furnace. Then i went into my garage, and the gas smell was overwhelming. When i took the vehicle to mercedes benz, they did a diagnostic and determined the fuel sensor was bad, along with cracked inner tank module. I had to replace all the associated parts (cable harness, auxiliary pump, bracket, seal ring, etc. Parts: $710. 13 and labor: $496. 80 = 1206. 93. This issue should be reviewed as a manufacturer defect. I've had many automobiles, and never did i have this headache. And i certainly would not expect this from this car. Mercedes benz needs to own up to these defaults!!! Additionally, my battery died at the same time - another parts: $284. 05, labor: $207. 00.
