fuel smell
Once the car warms up running there is a fuel smell inside, once you you go out of the car and go back again after awhile you could still smell the fuel. I replaced the fuel pumps(checked for leaks), fuel filters, injector o-rings and some hoses. there is no visible leaks, as I had it checked already by 3 MB mechanics already. But still the problems can't be solved. Any inputs will be so much appreciated! Thanks!

Depending on what year and model, there is currently a recall campain conncering the fuel pump. The syptoms are exactly what you are describing. This could be potentially dangerous. Check it out at once.
