Description of the problem	I filled up my car with gas on friday, may 4, 2012 and then went out. I parked my car on the road and came back to it a couple hours later. There was an overpowering gasoline smell in the area as i walked by and thought it was another car or gas was dumped on the road. A couple hours later i got into my car and drove home. The gas smell was still in the area when i left. I parked my car at home and checked it on saturday morning. The gas smell was less so i parked the car on the road thinking it would be safe. In the evening, i walked past my car and the gas smell was strong again. I called my local mercedes dealer on monday morning regarding the leak and let them know about the gas smell and that the gas gauge dropped a couple of bars even though i had only drive 13 miles. I towed the car in and the service advisor called back with the result: there was a tear in the seal that is a part of the fuel pump/sending unit. They called back later to tell me "diagnosed the right side fuel pump has a hole burnt through housing causing fuel to leak out near connector housing". This situation is very dismaying and scary as the car had the same fuel pumps replaced under a recall in 2008. The worst thing is there was a burn in the fuel pump housing which could have ended in a much worse situation with a full fuel tank... Updated 05/17/12 bf updated 06/06/12 js updated 06/22/2012 *js
