Hi folks,

About a month ago my 300E stopped suddenly and hasn't started since although it continues to turn over effortlessly. It's been parked all this time and I started working on it today. After a few attempts at starting I opened the gas tank filler cover and gasoline spewed out as if it were under pressure! The car is in the attached garage and I'm worried about how much gas might end up on the floor - fire hazard and all.

Can anybody explain this phenomenon? I've never experienced anything like it. Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks in advance to all.
