Description of the problem	In june 2012 i was experiencing a strong gas odor upon filling my tank. Over the course of the next few months i visited 3 shops trying to find the issue with the odor. The first two claimed there was no leak in my tank and they were not sure of the problem. The last shop said there was no leak but could smell the odor in the vehicle. At this point it cost me, just less than $ 2000., to fix issues related to the smell. # replaced cannister vent control solenoid. # aux sending unit # wiring harness fuel tank pressure sensor # wiring harness for vent control solenoid. I would not have fixed the problem, but the smell of fuel caused major concern, especially driving my children around. This did solve the problem. I read a newspaper article from the nhtsa today and it was talking about a leak in the tanks, as stated above, i do not believe this to be the case. Would i have recourse after the fact from mercedes from this obvious defect ? 2005 mercedes e500
