Description of the problem	Mercedes metris van fuel smell while vehicle was at idle warming up for winter driving. Gas was seeping from "porous gas line" was what i was told from dealership and that this only happened to two other vehicles in america. Unfortunately, our company bought multiple vehicles and we have three with the exact same problem. Mercedes does not have parts readily available in the states and the fuel line has to be manufactured in germany. Plan on being without your vehicle for an extended period of time. There are multiple forums on the web illustrating this problem. If you smell gas outside your metris i suggest taking it in right away.
