This morning I find my engin running rough and like it is going to shut off at stops. I then think that maybe there was foul play with my gas tank after finding the gas cap off this morning as well. Initially, I just assumed that someone needed free gas, but with my engin running rough, I thought maybe I should do some damage control and seek a precautionary measure aside from securing access to my gas tank with a locking cap. What would be the sensible thing to do at this juncture?

if you are sure nobody put anything bad in there, siphon it empty and refill with Chevron 91. If you thinkit i scontaminated, I would remove th etank and have it washed out, then have the injectors serviced
