I had to replace a fuel hose by the pumps on my 300E last year. The smell was horrible when the car sat in the garage after a drive, and the fuel consumption was dramatic! And it doesn't take much of a leak to smell like you've got a hole in your tank!!

Still, there was no pool of gas on the floor and no residue on the offending hose. I had to clean the hose and fuel pump cover tray spotlessly and then do a hard drive for an hour before I could find a trace of residue on the tray and a dark spot on the hose.
