Description of the problem	I noticed a strong gas smell after a full tank of gas with my mercedes benz gl450 after i received it back from the mercedes benz dealer to replace the driver side fuel sending unit to fix the broken fuel gauge. The strong gas odor was non-existent before the repair. Initially, i thought it was just a residual smell due to the repair but after a week when i filled again, the gas smell was still there. The smell is so bad especially in the morning when i get inside the garage. The smell is evident on the rear passenger side close to the gas tank. On january 11, 2016, i brought back the vehicle to the same mercedes benz dealer with a quarter of a tank to investigate the problem. After a couple of days, the service advisor told me that the technician/mechanic did the inspection and diagnosis but did not find anything wrong. I was asked if i overfill when i put gas and i said no. If mercedes benz could not find out what is wrong to an obvious problem, i don't know what's going on with the vehicle. As i have said before, this problem was non-existent before they dropped the tank to fix the fuel sending unit. I find it wrong that i have to shoulder the burden of worries and uncertainty to a safety problem that mercedes benz could not accurately diagnose. At this time, i do not really have a peace of mind safety wise whenever i drive this vehicle with my family.
