(Video) FIX Gas Leaking When Filled Up of W212 E350 (Part One)

Whatever W210, W211, W212, there are tons of complaints that issue occurred online. I also encountered the same problem, the gas (Petrol) smell when filled up the E-class gas tank, especially in the garage. That is the fuel leaking. Rather than arguing with the dealer, it's better to spend a few hours and a few money to fix it by ourselves, especially with an expired warranty.

Found you on YouTube and didn't realize you were an MBWorld members... Thanks for the video!

So my mother-in-law has a W212, and complained of a gas smell when filling up... she failed to mention it was leaking externally. Nonetheless, your fix ended up fixing one of the issues she was having - smell from within the cab. However, she still has a major problem of gas leaking after being filled up. It leaks from the right rear (just behind tire) but when jacked up, it'll leak from the left rear (same spot).. Any idea?

Can someone tell me how low the fuel level needs to be before I can remove the closing cover (right)? 2010 E350
