CLK500 8-cyl

  • 48,000 miles
Pulled into the driveway one evening and noticed a strong fuel smell. Using a flashlight, found a drip coming from under the passenger side rear of the car. The next morning a large gas stain was apparent under the car, but the drip had stopped. Started the car and the gas leak began again. Dropped the panels under the car and the leak is coming from the tank. The vehicle is now at a dealership and they claim the tank is cracked.
