Default Whining Fuel pump and other problems.

So my wife put bad gas in the car...

The fuel pump is yelling and was getting 0300 random misfire code and SES light. Yesterday i changed the fuel filter ran it low and filled up with some shell and used berryman's b-12.

SES light went away and as long as i drive it at under 3k rpm it runs ok if not alittle rough. pump is still yelling. also getting some clicking from the relay when priming. However you can feel the relay turn on when touching it.

Late on today i put in 1/2 a bottle of rubbing alchohol, some marvel mystery oil and octane boost in. Getting nervous about adding all these additives to my tank now, but even after i quick run with that stuff in there same symptoms, yelling pump almost like a "shut down" mode at 2.5-3k rpm/WOT.

Please help, needing to drive to AZ in the next few days.

Thanks.
