Filters filters.. hopefully not the lift pump. If by chance you put fuel in mixed with biofuel there is a very good chance you knocked some debris loose for your filters. Bio is an extreme detergent and older vehicles hate it. If you have a algae issue ( starts at the refinery tanks) you will need to dump tanks and clean them. Very hard to get rid of. I haven’t seen an additive for it. Hopefully you just took on a bad batch of fuel. We changed 2 filters from Salt Lake to Bay Area with bad fuel once. We had to leave the diagnostic tool plugged in and clear under way.
Hope you get it worked out.
