07 C230 smells like gasoline...help?
I park my car in the garage and when I open the garage door it reeks of gasoline. Even when I'm around the car or inside the car it smells like gasoline. I don't see any leaks so I have no idea why the strong gasoline smell. And my CEL goes on and off, now it's on. I need help, what could it be? Thanks

The most likely cause if there is no obvious leak on the fuel rail is a damaged seal/gasket on the fuel sender units in the tanks. Lift the lower rear seat & remove the 2 round cover plates to check. Are you getting a EECS code? (EECS = Evapourative Emissions Control System)
Can also be saturated carbon canister, cracked filler pipe, damaged purge valve etc. See Wiki for EECS circuit diagram.
