Travel woes

You probably can't empty the fuel tank and refill it with fresh fuel in case bad fuel was the problem; but, you can top off the tank with fresh fuel (preferably with the highest octane rating your car can use) to dilute any contamination. There are also drying additives, that you pour into the gas tank, to get rid of any water condensation in the tank that might be pumped into the fuel line. These fairly inexpensive measures would help rule out a fuel problem if the symptoms recur.
