As a German, I do not appreciate these kind of comments. Actually, no one should appreciate them, as they are unnecessary and do not add any value here.

Look at your signature, you may want to apply the "think again" yourself!

I haven't and don't smell gas. But they strongly advised that I schedule the warrant repair sooner than later.

Hope this small bit of info helps. I registered to make this comment! XD

FYI 2006 E350 3.5l
They must just need the business. It's just an extended warranty not a recall. They just wanted you to say the magic words that you smell gas and then they can go ahead and replace the tank.
