oil filler cap pressurized/ engine won't stop

My 300 wagon blew it's oil filler cap off! Talk about pressure. it's physically broke. A few days later now I am having the engine stop problem, haven't checked for vacuum leaks yet, and I am wonderring if anyone sees a connection between these two events. Could it be related to biodeisel use. FOr the sake of all veggies I do hope not. Fuel filters changed 100 miles ago.
I have the slightest front end wag at idle and have been lazy about checking the rack dampner screw.
Also new to computers and this forum and wonderring where I may find or search for a used fuel sending unit/tank gauge.
thanks. bowlcole

BTW, Nothing in the archives under exploding oil filler caps.
