My 2005 Volkswagon toureq started vibrating and hesitating after I got gas this morning. As soon as I reached 20 mph it would start to make a hesitation and make a strange noise. I was worried I put the wrong type of fuel but I know I didn't. The tank was almost empty so I wonder if it is fuel injection issue. Please help!

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pressure?

No engine light.
I haven't checked fuel pressure.
I was going to try running some fuel injection cleaner through first.

That could help. If it doesn't, check fuel pressure.
