Description of the problem	We recently filled the gas tank with fuel and noticed a strong fuel odor as if someone spilled gas on the floor in the garage. I proceeded to investigate where the smell was coming from around the car and noticed that it was strongest on the passenger rear of the vehicle. I checked on line and noticed similar issues with the fuel tank on other mercedes models. I proceeded to remove the rear seat and access cover to the fuel tank "sending unit or fuel pump" i'm not sure of the correct terminology, and sure enough there was a puddle of gas on top of the fuel tank apparatus. I proceeded to carefully soak up the gas with a rag and when i did i could see gas slowly seeping out of the cracks on the unit. I will be taking the vehicle to the mercedes dealer tomorrow. I noticed the recall did not cover my vehicle as it was built in july of 2010 which is a few months before the 2011 e -class extended recall. I hope the dealer will work with me as i consider this a serious issue that should be resolved professionally and promptly.
