Angry bad gas

Yes the pork w/ blackbeans&rice got me on my visit to FLA. Also stopping at the Flying J my truck got a tank full of bad gas. Its the first time I've had this happen to my truck. I ran the gas out bout half way thru the "service engine "light came on. I had already put 2 bottles of cleaner in when first noticed it was runnin bad. I had 700 miles to get home so the next tank was Chevron techron(high octane) and it seem that all is well now, service light went out and she don't seem to sputter anymore. My question is do I need to do any further maintance? I had fuel filter replaced 5months ago, but after this "bad gas" do Ineed to have it replaced again? How bout as far as the plugs, I have not changed them yet(77,000mi) and guessing this bad gas would have a bad effect on them. Need some advice from y'all. Anything else that I might not be thinkin bout. Thanks.

Also, Is there anything I can do or find out bout the bad gas? I'm almost positive it was this cause she started sputterin 15-20 miles after fill up? My thinking is we had close to 7" of rain new years eve and it might have got to the tanks somehow? I know if I tried to call Flying J they will deny it? I guess I'm just victim to $35.00 of a bad product?
