Description of the problem	2005 mercedes benz e class has fuel tank issues. Many owners have reported the same issue 2 to 3 years after purchase. First the fuel cap indicator comes on, later triggering the engine light to appear and upon repair attempts everything but the fuel tank is suspected. The end result after adjusting and tweaking many other parts associated with the fuel evap system, replacing the fuel tank resolved the issue. This is unsafe.
