Kinda seems like overkill to me, the issue with ethanol is it have lower energy density that gasoline. AKA need more of it to make power. Great for race cars cause you can pack alot of it (small molecule) and air into the combustion camber and make alot of power and you dont care about mileage as a racer so much. American politics at its best trying to get energy dependence while trying to boost fuel mileage.

I believe its a mixture of both. Plus flex fuel cars that run E85 put our more CO2 than the same vehicle running gas, have worse mileage and uses more energy to make ethanol than what is returned. But its good for corn farmers and renewable

I smell gas, but only when the windows are down as I am driving. I have been told if the smell is from the front that when the fesh air vent is open I would smell it, but I don't. Enjectors are dry and I have taken it to a shop that checked the fuel lines and said they seen not leaks at all. After I have driven the Jeep for a while, once I stop and get out I can smell it in the front when I open the hood I can't pin piont the smell. Someone told me about a smoke check. Can someone help.

Look around on the passenger side of the motor low on the firewall, I believe there is an evap canister thing there. Check the lines

Rather than start another thread I figured I'd add this to the mix:
http://www.fitchcatalyst.com/details...=7&category=20
Anyone have any experience with this system? I remember GoJeep saying his actually worked well for him, but I haven't really heard from any other Jeepers.
By my calculations, I could save at least $10 a month or more. So in less than two years it would pay for itself and then start making me money. It's something I'm seriously considering...
