When I fill my car up I can smell gas in my garage. Once I drive it for a while and it gets below a half tank or so I don't smell the gas anymore. I am worried that the gas smell in the garage made some fumes into my house and this is a safety issue. I see some models of mercedes have been recalled for this reason. I would like mercedes to recall and repair this at no charge to me. Apparently mercedes covers model year 2003 to 2009 on the e class in 2006 to 2011 on the cls class. I am having the exact same issue. *bf *tr

Bought the vehicle at 42k miles 3 years and it smells fuel inside the vehicle and the garage for a couple of days on each tank fill up. It smells so bad I have leave the garage door open sometimes so that my house does not catch fire along the vehicle. Searched online a lot of owners of the same vehicle have the same complaint.

Strong smell of fuel from rear left side of vehicle after fill up. Fuel puddle found under rear passenger seat under fuel tank access panel. Left side fuel pump (fuel filter/sender) found cracked and leaking at the nipple to the outgoing gas line. This is a common failure for 10 year old e and c class mercedes and is part of a mercedes extended warranty program to correct this exact problem. However, mercedes tells me that my clk is not part of the warranty extension.

Very strong gasoline smell coming from under the driver side rear seat especially after filling gas tank. Mercedes agreed to warranty this issue for 15 years on the e-class and cls-class. Why didn't mercedes and the federal safety agency include this model (clk) that has the same problem with the same components?

Fuel is leaking from both sender units when tank is more than 3/4 full. Extreme fumes when car is parked in closed garage with a full tank. Smells like a large quantity of fuel is leaking. Paid for the same repair 20k miles ago, now same problem has returned. Mb dealer will not cover under warranty, cost for repair is $1800 (plus original repair). The symptoms are identical to investigation ea 13-003. Are similar parts involved? Given the vast number of complaints here and online forums, an investigation should be done. There is no way this amount of fuel leaking is not a safety issue. This is literally a "ticking time bomb".

There is a strong gas smell coming from the vehicle especially after filling up the tank. It was inspected at fletcher jones mercedes benz dealer and the leak was found at the fuel tank filter, level sensor, and 2 seal rings. Due to the cost, I did not have the vehicle repaired at the dealer but at a local shop specializing in mb. Cost for the repair was $836.70. I am reporting this late for purposes of safety and trending.
