Default Car won't start

Was driving my Stang today, was getting on it a little and it died, I tried to start it but it would turn over but that's it. I had to be towed home, I tried serveral times to start it but it would run for about 1 sec. then it started to smell like raw gas really bad. I thought it might be the Kenne Bell bap so I un-plugged the fuse and then it seemed to run for about 4 sec. and died, again smelled like raw gas. I let it set for about two hours still nothing, I checked all the fuses. Any ideas, How long should it set to dry out, and would the car run without the bap .

You don't want to try to start it anymore, you don't want to flood it.
Excess gas in the cylinder will eat away the rings.

Is it throwing any codes? Still under warranty? What was the last thing you did to/with it? Did you just get gas?

I got gas about three days ago have driven about 20 miles since, I haven't done anything to it recently at all, has been running real good, I just have a hunch its the bap, but I don't know what happens if they fail.It did run quite rough when I took the fuse out for about 4-5 sec.,but it was fouled with gas I believe and quit.

the required fuel pressure
