2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500 Fuel system Problems

“In september, 2015 took my vehicle to houston greenway (3900 southwest freeway; houston, texas 77027) for an inspection of the fuel tank (strong fuel odors were detected). The inspection revealed that the fuel tank required replacement. The replacement work was done and I paid for it out of pocket. I recently received a letter from mbusa stating that the mbusa had elected to extend the warranty on my vehicle”

“After I fill the CLS500 mb tank with gas, and drive into the residential garage, an hour later the garage is filled with raw gas fumes. If I don't fill the tank completely, it seems to be okay. Sometimes the fumes enter the home, and my guests can smell them. It's quite embarrassing when you own a mb. The guests leave right away.”

“After filling my car, I started smelling a gas odor coming from the driver side back seat area when I reach home about 2 miles away from the service station where I filled up. I figure the smell would have go away but everytime I drive my car I can be assured to smell that gas odor in the rear driver side passenger area which now is very annoying for a car I paid so much money for. ....”

“Through some checking, gasoline seems to be running out of the top of the gas tank when it is full. It is not coming from the fuel pump module seal. This is both dangerous and a pollution and health risk. I just bought the car, so I don't know how long the problem has existed. He told me that is the problem with the fuel sending unit is leaking underneath of the seats. He also told me that he just fixed two cars with the same problem. …”

“Bought this car less than 30 days ago and it has very strong gas smell every time after refueling inside and outside the car...I have to leave my garage door open because of the strong gas fumes in the garage that also creep into the house!!”
