I then drove to another car show about 15 miles away and the same thing happened again after setting for a few hours. That was with 10% ethanol crap gas. So far I haven't had problems when using the good gas.

I had earlier concluded that my gas cap doesn't exist. I now believe that Tom's also doesn't exist.
