“I recently bought a used 2005 mercedes e320 with 126.3k miles. At time of transaction, car had half a tank of fuel only. Couple days later, when I went to refuel, I filled up tank all the way to top, I drove home and as soon as I exited car, I could smell a very strong odor of gasoline inside car and inside left rear wheel well. I inspected the car and after lifting rear seat cushion, I opened the covers to gas tank to find there was a fuel leak at the fuel sending unit, driver's side, about 1-2 ounces of fuel. …”
