Srs system malfunction.
After filling up the fuel tank with gasoline, i smell an odor of gas until the tank is down to about 3/4 full.
Filled fuel tank , came home ,parked in garage and noticed a strong fuel smell. Fuel was leaking on floor and i have to leave it outside now.
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. Today i purchased an updated new fuel sending unit from mb dealer and will need to get it installed.when tank is three quarter full or less, you don't smell the odor and no sign of leak is present. This appears to be a common problem among mercedes e-class. I've learned this thru my most recent online search. I'm so disappointed in mercedes benz for this poor manufacturing.
While driving at approximately 50 mph, the sbs system warning light came on along with loss of most braking ability. I managed to stop the car, turn around and return about 8 miles to my home in "limp home" mode. There was no warning whatsoever. I then call the mb dealership which sent a truck to pick up the car. The sbs hydraulic unit had failed and was replaced under extended warranty at no cost. While i am not complaining about the cost (none), the failure could have caused an accident with the loss of brake ability. I take road trips to the colorado mountains and if this had happenedthere, i could have suffered a fatal injury.this system is defectively engineered and should be replaced on all mercedes cars so equipped.
