Description of the problem	Major fuel leak from fuel hose feeding the high pressure fuel pump. We had it towed to a mercedes dealership to have it repaired. They reported that the c-class model sedans are experiencing the same issue. The mb metris has a c-class engine and the same components. The dealership is just replacing the hose for the fix but really has no explanation of why it is happening. The part is on backorder from germany due to so many experiencing this issue. I now am finding out that this has been a known issue but is being kept quiet. I have also seen many complaints on the mb metris forums about the same fuel leak issue. We noticed the problem when we started our car to let it warm up in the morning. The vehicle was stationary and the transmission was in the parked position. I came back outside and noticed a strong fuel smell. I looked under the car and noticed the fuel leak. The outside temperature was 26 degrees f at the time.
