Re: Problems with ethanol?

I have a '97 and have been using Ethenol since 2003. A couple of months ago Iowa decided to start charging $.10/gallon more for it so I started using Premium since they were about the same price. My car started having starting problems. I figured the two tanks of premium probably loosened junk up or something and caused the problems. After folks boycotted the Ethenol price hike, the price went back down and I went back to using it. The car totally stopped starting and a fuel pump and a CPS it's back on the road again. Has a serious fuel leak, but we can't see any liquid anywhere. It smells worse when the car is stopped. The strongest fuel smell is under the hood around the CPS area. Anyway, the Ethenol probably has nothing to do with this problem.
