Best Answer

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.

Will your 98 ford windstar start if it has a blown head gasket?

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.
