WASHINGTON (AP) - Ethanol producers are asking the Environmental Protection Agency to boost the amount of ethanol that can be blended with gasoline. They want the ceiling on ethanol content to be raised from 10 percent to 15 percent.

But automakers argue such an increase could damage engines, fuel lines and emission controls. And makers of small engines say the increased alcohol could adversely affect the smooth operation of everything from lawnmowers and chains saws to boats and motorcycles.
