Description of the problem	I have a 2006 e500 sedan. Just before the three year warranty expired, we notice a strong fuel smell in the car. We had a mercedes dealer, check it out and the serviceman said he found the problem with a seal on the fuel pump panel below the left rear seat. Said he had the problem fixed. This was the area of the problem but he didn't stop the leak. After the warranty expired we had the car serviced and the dealer found a bayonet fitting to a overflow cannister disconnected. The leak problem still persist and i have resorted to not filling the car up with gas. I have had to rip out the sound proofing blanket under the rear seat because of fuel odors. ( it got soaked. ) the seat foam got wet in the area just above the fuel access panel. Is there a seal (o-ring or otherwise in the fuel tank o cap in that access area) should i take the cap off and look for a burr on the tank? What torque value or how tight should this cap be screwed on the tank?
