Some fuel additives work wonders. When I was driving through the middle of nowhere on my way home from Las Vegas a few years ago, the car suddenly stalled. I restarted it and was able to drive 10-20 seconds before pressing the gas was like pressing the brake (my guess is a clogged fuel filter). After a few iterations, I got to an exit and was able to pull over. I added a couple of bottles of fuel system cleaner and topped off the tank with premium, gave it a few minutes to settle, and then drove away with no further issues.
My dad majored in chemistry in college, and he explained how the additives are able to bond to water or whatever is clogging the filter, and pull the stuff harmlessly through. I don't remember the whole conversation because it's been years, but I do remember the additives worked.
