I have a '95 dakota 5.2L V-8. 116k miles, one owner, all required and scheduled maintenance performed for the life of the vehicle.
I filled the tank on thursday, and on friday after driving about 5 miles and getting fully warmed up, it starts sputtering and acting like it wants to stall when accelerating or climbing. I'm going to take care of the next scheduled maintenance a bit sooner (new plugs, etc) but at this point I kind of suspect a bad tank of gas.
Other than driving it until the tank is empty and filling up someplace else next time, can I do anything else? I used to use gas line dryer ('heet' brand) years ago, but in my current location (Seattle) it rarely gets below freezing, although the last week or so has seen some record lows, well below freezing. I'm wondering if any of this stuff or a bottle of gas treatment might help.
I hope it's not something like the fuel filter or fuel pump, because they're located inside the gas tank on this particular vehicle. Not like my old buick where you could change the fuel filter with a flare nut wrench in 60 seconds.
Thanks,
Dave
