bad fuel?!

so i recently picked up bad fuel some where along the line. after my truck ended up dying i took it down to our shop and pumped all the fuel and what i thought to be all the water. well right after my truck went to the shop and sat fior 2 weeks while the replaced a bunch of drivetrain stuff for warranty. when i left the truck it had 1/4 tank and when i picked it up it was next to empty. on my way home i grabbed fuel and after i left the gas station i blew a cloud of white smoke like you wouldnt believe. now it keeps stalling,. what to do now?

if you only found a few drops of water bad fuel probably wasn't the problem. just a thought. good luck.
