    Water in gas?
    Hello, I stopped at the gas station and put gas in my truck. It was running fine before but after, it quit running three times before I could get home. It started right back up with no problem but after a few miles it would quit again.
    Thanks for any help.

    You could need a need gas filter.
    If it is water in the gas you can try using dry gas from the auto parts store

    Like N0help said, try getting some fuel antifreeze from a parts store. Buy a bottle or 2, put them into the tank, and then fill it up to mix the antifreeze with the gas.

    If there is THAT much water in the fuel, the aditive may not be enough.
    You may ultimately have to have the tank pumped.
    If you saved your receipt, I'd also contact the management, not the clerk, of the gas station. Tell them what has happened. Try to find out if others have had the same problem at that station.
    I'd insist that the station help with this and, considering the price we pay for fuel, ask for your money back. Don't accept a "free fill up" as that could be contaminated with water, too.
    Just my opinion.
