You should move that load of Fuel to a separate container, and get some from a known good source. IF, that doesn't correct the problem, you can always pour it back into the Tank. Be sure to get it all out of the Tank to be sure it's a Fuel problem.

When you put new Fuel in the Tank (just a couple gallons) it may take four or five minutes of running, to completely access the fresh Fuel.
Drive it at least 10 miles.
