It happened to me a few times when on the road. The freeway side gas stations can do it to you. Once you are gone, you're on your own. Towing, waiting for a garage to open until Monday, sleeping in the van at a weird place, etc. Maybe some fuel additive would solve it. The gas stations are allowed to put in a certain amount of water into their tank, depending on how much alcohol there is in it, I think.
