| Description of the problem | My mercedes benz 2011 e350 smelled like raw gas inside the drivers compartment apparently it was a leak from the top of the gas tank, my daughters 2010 c300 also just went in for the same problem leaking from the gas tank and even soaked the rear seat cushion,even though they repaired it i am worried that it could happen again especially if the parts replaced were not updated, it smelled up my garage and i fear if it leaks again it could start a fire in my garage, please advise. It appears it happens especially when you fill up the gas tank |
