My husband and I purchased the 2007 cls550 about september 2015. We noticed when filling the vehicle with gas, we would have gas fumes in the vehicle specifically on the passenger side rear inside and outside. The fumes were light and would dissipate once the vehicle was driven to reduce the amount of gas in the tank to about three-quarters tank. Last week we filled the tank and the small is now stronger and has yet to dissipate although we have a quarter tank of gas remaining.
