Call your dealership and ask them.

What's the mileage? If it's less than 150k and you have a Pzev (option code 917 using a vin decoder), it will be covered by the dealer as Pzev's have a 15 year/150k warranty on various emissions related components. If it's not a Pzev, it will be covered by the dealer as non Pzev cars have a 15 year, unlimited miles warranty on the gas tank. You just need to take it to the dealer and tell them you smell gas in the cabin.

If the vehicle is from the US market, it may be covered under the warranty.

I would for sure call MB and have them tell me. Your Indipendent shop (wherever you are) will possibly get authorization from MB to fix with OEM parts and MB may reimburse you. It is worth a try for sure.

I am in the US and am having a faulty fuel pump (desribed on another thread), car is currently at the dealer getting fixed under the 15 warranty.

I want to say that I read in one of the threads on this that the extended warranty only applies to vehicles in the US. I may be incorrect though.

I received a letter from MBUSA today stating that MB was covering the fuel tank issues for 15 years/unlimited mileage from vehicle's original warranty start date, which would be date of first purchase, I trust. The extended warranty covers "... fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel pump, and related gaskets non-PZEV certified Model Year 2--3-2009 E-Class ...."

What country are you in? Warranties are usually country specific and the Pzev was a US warranty. Not sure if a regular gas tank would work. If the leak isn't from the gas tank itself, it's probably from a gasket so many some kind of sealant might work instead of replacing the entire tank. MB just tends to replace the entire tank if there are any issues. That usually runs to 3-4k in the US due to the cost of the tank, the pump and the filters which all get replaced at the same time. I think someone had mentioned at one point they just fixed the gasket on top of the tank. Leaks could also be from the fuel filler neck.

Have you called MB yet to inquire?

I would imagine that no-one here has used a plastic tank before?

In countries where $100 part is worth weekly wages, people do amazing inventions.

​​​ pzev Mercedes fuel tank issue. I'm having the same problem with my fuel tank. When you first buy a card Mercedes they never tell you the stuff. So when the stuff does eventually happen it's always at the wrong time. I personally think the person that sells the car car salesman that sells you the car, if you have these problems, and anyone else did vice from him
4 Mercedes, they should be rested and do some jail time. For every gas tank issue. That's what I think.

I have a 2007 e350 California model and I called mbusa as well as park place Mercedes in Dallas gave them my vin and they are not going to cover it, they said my particular vin is not one of the recalled vehicles

You're not saying it right. If it's a Pzev, it's not recall, just part of the original 15 year/150k warranty. If you're beyond 150k, then it wouldn't be covered. There was no recall, just an extended warranty on non Pzev cars. Pzev's already had the 15/150k warranty. Even if you're no longer in a Pzev state, it should still be covered. Texas wasn't a Pzev state, but if the car was sold in CA as a Pzev car, the warranty should still apply. Unless the car was sold in a non Pzev state, then the Pzev warranty is no longer 15/150k and you are probably SOL.

Lee Herd

Ah, so my vehicle should be covered under the original factory warranty then because it was sold in California and has less than 130k on it and it’s less than 15 years old

cetialpha5

Right, give them your VIN and ask if the Pzev warranty is still valid. If it is, it should be covered. Only reason it wouldn't is if it's a salvage car. There's a separate warranty booklet out there that tells you what is covered under Pzev.
