What owners say
Recall campaign number 2008-020001. This is a known defect that mercedes refuses to repair. Very dangerous fuel leak. Fuel puddling inside cabin under rear seat. Fire hazard and health hazard.
Leaks gas from fuel sending unit. Like the rest of these cars do, or will.
Strong fuel odor inside cabin, and fuel leak on ground outside. Repaired twice under warranty. First repair failed; second repair temporarily successful. Since second repair, fuel odor faint but noticeable, sporadic, but with no fuel leak visible on ground outside. Usually occurs when car is started after sitting in the sun for some time in hot weather, after a recent refueling. Incidence about once monthly (car is usually not parked outside). The car is no longer under any warranty. Independent mechanic showed me the (original) plastic part over the fuel tank under the left rear seat which showed slight fuel seepage (the replaced-under-warranty plastic part under the right rear seat still looks new and unaffected). In my opinion, this matter is related to the 2003-2008 mercedes-benz e-class fuel odor incidents under current (recently upgraded) the federal safety agency investigation.
The fuel sender has a leak at the top of the seal, when the gas tank is full fuel leaks out the top.
