A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Gas smell in the my garage and strong inside cabin after filling the car up. Checked under seat and puddle on top of fuel pump area. Cleaned up fuel and consulted internet for diagnose of issue. Found this was a common problem and found some to get fixed with pump replacement or whole tank replacement. Took in to dealer and they said it was the pump and wanted $800 to fix. Per internet opted not to pay for replacement and have left as is just not filling car up with fuel. Only fill to 3/4 tank and no smell since.
Car began smelling of raw fuel after being filled up. Found that the fuel level sending unit was leaking fuel out of the top of the fuel tank. A puddle of fuel was visible on top of the sending unit and was leaking onto the ground. This posed a significant fire risk and the car was moved outside. I have contacted mbusa and they have offered no help, saying this isn't a known issue. After researching the issue I have found it is widespread and affects multiple models.
Similar to the complaints filed by mercedes benz w211 members owning 2003 - 2006 e55 amg's, my 2007 w211 e63 amg is experiencing fuel leaking from the fuel sender/pump assembly unit. I noticed a distinct gas odor in my garage the morning after I filled up with gas. I checked the fuel sender/pump assembly area as is stated in many forums where owners are complaining about this commonly occurring issue. There was fuel puddled in the cup of the assembly.
After filling the car up with gasoline, there is a strong odor of gas in the cabin to the point where the windows have to be open to drive.
There is a strong smell of gasoline over 1/2 tank full, and frequent check engine lights on for an evap system leak. This is a known issue with these cars, and I am concerned to drive the vehicle with gasoline fumes coming inside the car and creating a fire hazard. Mercedes knows about this problem and needs to address it.
