Hi Team,

Wada you mean over filled-----you mean the gas poured out of the tank, if so why would that issue not start the car---you have other issues and that is called sympathetic psychosis!

not that far fetched. it happens and highlights a design issue in which
the evap canister may get soaked. better to google and read of the
options to resolve your issue.

use keywords 'mercedes e320 overfill gas' or some such. plenty of
posts out there
