in a traffic jam in a tunnel last night the above mentioned happened. 3.5 litres of coolant boiled off and i've burntall my arm

i dont think my fan kicked in at all, whats the most likely cuase of this?

Is it to do with the thermostat?

No, that is the main reason for a head gasket going unfortunately, as it got so hot and probably warped etc.

The car shouldn't just boil over, so would indicate the fan didn't kick in.
