I noticed a slight fuel smell when I would fill up the fuel tank. The smell has gradually gotten worse and now is inside the car as well as permeates my garage after setting for a short period. I now have to crack my garage door at night to let vapors escape for safety reasons. This is an absolute safety issue and seems very common with many mercedes benz models and should be addressed. Thank you! Fuel/propulsion system
