This is a potentially serious problem. It could be a fuel leak either in your fuel line or your EGR system. That is the worst scenario. The second could be you over filled your tank and it forced fuel up the return lines from your engine. If that is the case you will just have to live with it for a bit. When the gas pump shuts off that is when you stop filling the tank. Much more and you put too much fuel in the tank.
Start 2001 winstar with no key
Our 1999 Ford Windstar Van starts fine but when we shut it off it will not start back up til it has sit for 30 minutes! HELP
If a car begins to smell like rotten eggs and then starts acting like it has bad gas, it may have been filled with the wrong type of fuel. This smell is common when diesel fuel is burned.

Search for a coolant leak and take care of it before it gets worse. If you smell it, it's leaking from somewhere.
There are a few reasons why a 1997 Ford Windstar may not start. It could be the alternator, battery, bad plug, or even the starter.
Probably, unless a cylinder has filled with engine coolant. In any case it is not a good idea to run an engine in that condition, if coolant mixes with the motor oil you can expect more damage to the engine.
How can you smell gas when I start MY 97 jimmy - most strange!.
You will smell, start to shed (skin), start iching, and you will look ugly because of the smell.
The Windstar most likely has a part that is breaking down when it heats up. Check the ignition coil and crank position sensor to start trying to find the problem.
Try getting a boost.....that'll help
Does it turn over? Getting fuel? Getting spark?
