What do I do now??
My SLK 320 has been purring like a kitten.. today I had to go to some little independant station. I had less than a quarter tank of gas. I filled up with premium. I was not 2 miles down the road before somethng didn’t feel right. The car seemed to be trying to die while going 40mph. It did die when I stopped at traffic lights. On the way home on the freeway it still tried to die at 70 mph.. then died again when I had to stop at a light.. NEVER had any issue like this until 2minutes after I gassed up. I even called the station to see if they could tell me if I accidentally purchased regular instead of premium .. they said I had used premium..I am very afraid to damage my car..what should I do from here?
With the high cost of fuel today, the independent stations are not filling their tanks and as a result, the water that collects in the tank is inadvertently dispensed with the fuel. Add a container of HEAT to the tank, this will disperse the water and allow it to pass without causing you to experience this problem. The heat is inexpensive, less than $2.00. it is used in cold climates to prevent freezing of water in the fuel tank and supply lines.

it could be the gas filter clogging up with you, or you got some water when you filled up. i have a little tip for you, never get gas at a station, when you see a tanker truck there, they stir up the dirt in the tanks when they are filling them up

Hey ur car will be fine…Go 2 ur local auto parts store, (I recomend Oreilly Auto Parts) Purchase a product called HEET It should be n a yellow bottle. (Ask the dude @ the counter) This one lil bottle will treat up 2 25 gallons of gas, thats plenty 4 ur 320. Pour the whole thing in and WA-LA! Ur baby is purring again. I recomend buying 2 bottles so u can keep one in ur trunk just incase! good luck! Let me know how that works for u!

the gas station probably puts garbage in their gas. Could be transmission. Take what gas is in their out. Find a more reliable place.

sounds like you got bad gas or your fuel pump may have picked up some debris from the bottom of the tank after you refueled and your fuel system became clogged from it.
