1981 non-Turbo: I drove into the gas station with my car running perfectly. The guy topped off the tank to the extreme. He ran the pump very slowly and filled the tank very very slowly until about two cups of gas was all over the ground. The car started but was running rough within about 50 feet of the pump. It ran really badly as I went around the block and back to the station. Now it won't even start. Any ideas to help??
