So i Filled up the fuel tank and had an amazing drive, and the next day when i started the car i left it for a minute or two to warm it up , and began smelling fuel , so i leaned down to see the underside of the car and can see Fuel leaking from the Fuel tank area. and was wondering what could make this happen, since its the first time i have filled up the fuel tank.

Thanks.

Just went through same problem. The cover next to the driveline houses the fuel pump, filter, and lines. My high pressure line from the filter was split and would spray fuel when pressurized causing the smell and leaking.

Bought new line from MB, $66.00 us, and replaced. Problem solved. Also replaced fuel filter as long as I was there. Easy enough job with the right wrenches. I used the special fitting wrenches to avoid rounding off any fittings.
