Fuel leaking from fuel sending unit and puddling on top of tank. My whole garage is full of fuel vapor! Not to mention if it contacted a hot part on the car. I just found out this is a "known issue".

What 2009 Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
As a loyal mercedes benz customer for years it pains me to write this letter. I am shocked to see a class action lawsuit against mbna and have personally had two fuel cell issues in two separate amg cars 6 years apart. It doesn't matter that my extended warranty covered the cost before and this time. It sickens me that mbna refuses to acknowledge that this is a defect in the design and products utilized in these amg vehicles yet the design was changed. Customers are not told that this is a flaw that happens on many of the amg instead they are treated as if each are unique cases. Shame on mbna for treating such loyal customers with such disregard and not admitting to the public that this is a limitation that consumers and insurance companies should be aware of for their safety. It personally placed my family in harms way this past weekend during a trip to naples fl. I think each executive of mbna should be forced to drive their family with this issues so they better understand how we feel. For a company so focused on safety...they are dropping the ball for thousands of consumers and hiding the truth. Respectfully I demand that mbna be held directly accountable for this defect and admit the issue to all amg owners 2003-2009. I have pictures of the most recent defect and the work orders from the original....
Smell of gas from under the vehicle near right rear tire. Pool of gas in plastic tray under car.
Leaking fuel system resulting in substantial gasoline leaking from fuel sender units and fuel tank components. Fuel leaks into bottom cover pan and ultimately to the ground when capacity of cover pan is exceeded.
