Description of the problem	Im writing in reference to the nhtsa action # pe12001. I bought my vehicle on the 23 of december 2012. I can honestly say i fell in love with this car. With that being said i have never filled the fuel tank of this car until 6-9-2013. The reason being i have a 1998 ford f150 that i drive as well. I mostly drive the e55 on weekends but its in and around my neighborhood. My father jus came back from the philippines a couple days ago so he needs my truck to get around while he's visiting. So yesterday i found i needed to drive the e55 daily while my father's in town so i filled up the tank to the car. I put in shell 91 and waited for the pump to stop. Once stopped i removed fueler and inserted into its holster. Note i did not top off for i never felt the need to in any car i have driven. I proceeded straight home and parked car in my garage, closed the garage door and went in the house. The e55 was in there for the rest of the day and night. And then this morning as i went into garage to go to work i was jus taken back by the fuel smell in the entire garage. So i opened the garage to air out and checked under the car for a puddle of fuel but found nothing. The smell is much stronger near the rear of the car. I drove off even with the windows down to jus rid the smell as it entered the cabin as i stepped in the car too. No problems driving to work but as i parked in reverse i can smell fuel as the wind kicked it towards my window. I parked and got out and smelled around the back and still smelled fuel. So as im worried throughout the day at work i went into my benzworld forum and found alot of the same complaints as me especially on the w211's. So as i read on the more worried i got because my kids ride in this car and i don't want them around it anymore especially with this problem goin on. Please help us with this problem.
