Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Oct 4, 2022
Fuel smell in cabin from rear fuel pump. This is an issue that other people with the w212 have been having as well according to mbworld.org forums. I AM frightened that one spark may cause my vehicle to explode, I also cannot allow my 5 year old son to rise in the vehicle because I do not want him to breathe the fuel fumes. Vehicle is currently in possession of dealer but it sounds like they do not want to do a goodwill repair for it. They are charging for inspection when it is not my fault in the first place.

I dried up the fuel but the problem continues, and continues whether or not the tank is full or less than 1/2 full.
