What owners wrote
2005 mercedes benz e55 fuel sending unit was spraying gas into compartment which is underneath the driver side back passenger seat. There was a recall on the car already and it was replaced and failed in just 18months. Brought the car to mercedes of freehold and they said "been changed under recall" and they cant do anything for me now that the new part has failed. Ended up buying the part out of pocket and replacing it because it was not under warranty any more.
