Description of the problem	We had noticed a strong smell of gasoline in our garage each morning just after we had filled the car with gas. We took the mb to myerstar mercedes, they found crack in the upper middle front of the plastic fuel tank and had to replace the fuel tank. This defect should never have occurred in a vehicle that's only five years old with 45,000 miles. This defect could have caused an explosion and fire in our garage. Copy of movie.
