Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

Several owners describe the check engine light coming on along with the vehicle entering a limp mode that prevents acceleration past a low speed.
Some report the flex-fuel computer misreading ethanol content in the fuel (30-50% perceived alcohol density) even though no ethanol fuel was used, causing engine misfires.
