Hello MB Aficionados

I have something curious happening to me over the week. I fill up the tank and started to smell a strong gasoline odor inside my car. I went to check the cap making sure it was fully closed. It was, but when I opened the cap, gasoline came rushing out enuff to fill up two cups.

I thought it was an isolated incident, so the next fill up, same thing. Strong gasoline odor and sure enuff, I opened the cap, gasoline came rushing out.

No more full tanks. 3/4 just to be safe, but never did this before.
What gives?

TIA.

Lou.

Sounds like you may have an issue with the charcoal canister\purge control valve
