Description of the problem	Complaint # pe12001 i noticed occasional fuel smell originally 2-3 months ago. Initially smells were mild, now smells are noxious and getting worse. At my last 10k miles oil change, discussed the problem and progression getting worse with my mercedes certified mechanic. The rear seat was removed, to find the upper part of fuel cell under passenger seat, with deterioration of upper part of fuel cell plastic. There was actually a gas "puddle" visible that had seeped through the top of fuel cell/sending unit. Very dangerous situation, risk of fire, and also causing headaches from noxious smell of gas !!! What can be more dangerous, gas leaking, and seeping into the interior cabin of an automobile ??? Please intervene with this dangerous problem with a recall before deaths occur to a very dangerous problem. Obviously a manufacturer defect in substandard parts purchased to a fuel cell from manufacturer mercedes benz !! This same problem has affected many mercedes benz vehicles. Thanking you in advance [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
