Engine idles rough and loss of power. Very sluggish, cannot go over 65 MPH. Ran fine until I filled up with gas and added Lukes gas treatment. That is when the problem occured.

Well, logic would dictate you got some bad gas.

Remove fuel filter, pour contents into clear glass container, if you see two seperate liquids, you most likely have water in gas.

If water, you will have to drain tank, change filter and refill with fresh gas.

As for gas additives, use Chevron Techron or SeaFoam.
