Description of the problem	I noticed strong gasoline smell in my 2006 e500. The smell is very strong inside the cabin and my vehicle always stays in the garage. When i walk into the garage i also smell a very strong gas odor. I had similar smell 2 years ago and got it to the dealer. They said the fuel tank opening under the rear seat was not properly closed and leaked the gas.
