My 2007 c230 has a problem with the smell of gasoline when you fill up. I have seen alot of complaints about the gas tank and its system on line. An when I talked to medcedes I was told they have had alot of issues with the mercedes in the past and that issue. They replaced alot of them at one time I dont know which model. I have seen alot of people with my style of mercedes with similiar issues. This type of thing should be taken care of by the dealer.

After filling the gas tank over the three quarters(3/4) mark, there is an extreme of gas. No leaks are seen and a garage found no leaks. The odor is so bad/strong that the car can not be placed in the garage. The odor remain until the fuel level is at or below the three quarters level.

When I fill up with gas, the car salon fills up with the gas smell. The problem should be in the fuel pump or so. The smell is persistent in the garage. While driving, I did not notice. When the amount of gas in the fuel tank decreases, the smell goes away. I removed the back seat and so the gas residue over the pump.
