Description of the problem	We purchased this vehicle recently from a private seller. The first time we filled up the tank, we noticed a very strong gasoline odor. I called the seller and he told me that the only way to avoid that is by not topping off the tank. I figured this wasn't normal, so i started doing some research. Turns out mercedes e class vehicles have a problem with the fuel seal. In fact, there was a recall for this problem, but the local mercedes dealer does not want to honor it because they say it is only for the amg models. But my model has the same problem. Then, upon further investigation, i found that a class action lawsuit against mercedes was being filed this year for the same exact issue concerning e class vehicles from 2003-2009.
