Exclamation I need a hand

I need someone to help me find a place that can diagnose my car. I'm going crazy trying to figure out what it going on. I'm in Miami. Help please.

Well it all started when I went up to PBIR to try to get picked for Past Time. On the way home it started raining and everything was okay. I noticed that I was low on fuel (1/8 tank) or so and decided to refuel. I saw a Shell and put about 5gal. into the tank. I made it to Miami and the next day I noticed that when I would accelerate the car was losing power. To the point where it felt like I was hitting the brakes. When ever the car got between 30-35 in would do it. Also when I would get to 45-50 it would do it. I thought the transmission was slipping but when I would punch it ,it would run fine and shift perfect. I went to the local auto parts and put some of that **** to get water out of the gas just incase. The car isn't giving me any codes. What can be wrong?

Joe (blk/slvr02ss) gave you a real good heads up.
If that's not it, you just need a "Great Diagnostic guy".
You don't want to just throw part$ at it.

Good Luck Gent!

This is true. Ethanol is a big part of it as it is water based. Try to find a marina and buy a full tank there, should be some around you. Most times the marinas have fuel with no ethanol in it.
