Description of the problem	My fuel tank has developed a leak where i can smell fuel both outside and inside the vehicle after filling the tank all the way. The odor is very pronounced and i am concerned about the safety of the vehicle if this much fuel is leaking from the tank. An independent repair shop confirmed a leak from the top of the fuel tank. Based on information i read on a mercedes benz forum website, it said to reference action number pe12001 (this appears to be a common issue with this series of vehicle). I hope the nhtsa will investigate this issue and force mercedes benz to replace these defective and unsafe fuel tanks at no cost to consumers.
