My MB had about 8 gallons of 'bad' gas in it (from sitting) which I put in my '00 Sierra. Truck ran like crap, hard start, stumble, etc... basically the driveability you're describing and only got slightly better when I added 10 gallons of premium (only requires 87).
This time I ran the tank almost dry before refilling, and full tank of 87 had it back to normal.
Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check and see if your pumps are running, how they sound & what kind of current they're drawing.
If you haven't changed the fuel filter(s) lately, that might be something else to look at.

I only use sunoco and BP. I just can not imagine that this gas would be causing this problem with the octane booster and the 10 gallons of 93 octane. How can I check these fuel pumps. I here there are two? Where are the filters located.........Any other ideas?
I am unfamiliar with Mercedes engineering so if you offer advise can you please offer guidance with it. Thanks
