I have put gas in the tank the last two and stinks like gas inside and out and when you driving the car it hesitates like it has water in the gas. Engine light comes on for a minute or two then goes back off,I have changed the fuel filter and that didn't fix it ?

It sounds like you have an injector that is leaking, aslo try some injector cleaner in the tank and try replacing the gas cap. make sure to hear 3 clicks. if the light continues to come on have the engine scanned as you probably have an intermittent problem.
