2011 Ram won't hard to start after filling with 97 octane

Asked by Dan Apr 27, 2018 at 01:06 AM about the 2011 RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The other night about 4 days ago my tank was
almost empty so I filled it with premium 97 octane
for the first time since I bought the truck use about
a year ago. After filling the tank I started the truck
with no problem and drove home. The next
morning when I try to start the truck they gave me
trouble. It would start but just long enough to
almost get to an idle and then shut off. I've just
recently replaced relay that controls the fuel pump
and it's not acting anything like it did when the
relay was bad. Tonight I tried to start it again and
this time it will turnover repetitively but not start at
all. When I got out of the truck I smelled really
strong gas fumes which I've never smelled before
coming for my truck. I've tried moving the shifter to
drive and back to park several times and nothing
changed. Do any of you know what is causing this?

No sir. How can I edit the title of my post? It was supposed to say " 2011 Ram hard to start / won't start after filling with 97 octane".
