start to smell fuel when car idles for to long, inside and outside. cls55
so i started to notice a smell of fuel the last few days, especially when i idle for a bit it will start to seep into the car, as well as out side. I know its form the outside because my furnace is in my garage area and it pulls air from the garage and then into my place. also if its idling for a bit and i step out you can smell it. wtf is going on? no CEL though.

does it smell from exhaust, from outside rear or engine compartment?
exhaust - run a can or two of chevron techron. if that does not fix it- it could be many things - leaky injectors is usually the culprit
outside rear - gas tank/ cap/ lines/ fuel filter might be leaking. have the car on a lift and use your nose.
engine compartment - fuel rail/ hoses., remove engine cover and use your nose.
good luck

Do you realize that you posted in the 215CL forum? It usually helps to post in the correct forum. https://mbworld.org/forums/cls55-amg...-w219-w218-68/
You can also get some valuable information on an NHTSA campaign for leaking fuel sending units on the 211 E55's. Not sure if this is your problem but see if it meets the symptoms others are having. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...all-bombs.html
