The gasoline fumes were extremely strong and entered the passenger area. The fumes were severe enough that I became physically overwhelmed from the gasoline exposure and discarded clothing due to gasoline contamination and odor.  A local repair facility identified the leaking fuel tank. I was informed the replacement fuel tank was allegedly on extended backorder through Mercedes-Benz channels.  Because the vehicle was unsafe to drive and replacement parts were allegedly unavailable for several months, I was forced to tow the vehicle from [XXX]  to [XXX]  at my own expense in order to locate a repair facility that could obtain a replacement fuel tank and safely repair the vehicle.  The repair invoice states: \u201cInstalled used lt fuel tank incl switchover fuel pumps replace section of steel fuel line front of tank from lower braided line.\u201d  I am submitting this complaint due to:  serious gasoline leak safety concerns, severe gasoline fume exposure, potential fire hazard, and the alleged extended unavailability of replacement fuel tanks.
