Unhappy Gas tank overpressue followed by fumes

My wife was filling up our 2001 E320. When she removed the hose, gas burst out of the filler tube, she says it seemed like a gallon though I doubt it. It's as though the tank had been pressurized by a faulty cut off valve on the gas pump (we're in CA with a tight seal vapor recovery system on gas pumps). A gas odor followed, not surprisingly. Three days later, the yellow low fuel light starts to blink rapidly on the gas gauge and she smells gas. We're headed for a dealer next week, but anyone have thoughts on whether this is a dangerous condition? Thanks
