Gas stations use water trap filters as well as sediment filters.
Water in the gas would be more of a maintenance issue at the pump as the water trap fills up over time if its not cleaned out it would flow tank water. First time I have heard of bad gas from a fresh supply, I would think it would be the opposite with the bad gas at the bottom of the tank before the fresh gas arrives.
The water filters may of filled by the use of the bottom of the tank and by the time the fresh gas is put in the tank the filters are full.
