    It probably was water. After filling up the water would have been dispersed in the gas. After letting it sit, the water would have pooled at the bottom of the tank but you put in ethanol which absorbed the water. Adding ethanol isn't an instant fix so letting it sit for a few hours will give it time to mix and work. Call the gas station and complain. If they own up to the issue they will reimburse you.
