a few days ago my tank was on empty,i put about 8 gallons in and immediatelly my truck began idiling high and inconsistent. on the road when i go to accelerate it would back fire and just feel bogged down. i got a good amount of the 8 gallons out and put new 93 octane fuel with two stp fuel treatments and the performance was a little improvement but it seems there is a fuel problem any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter and fuel pump
