Water in the gas tank?????

my car was on empty so i went to one of the local arab gas stations to get some gas. i put in 10$ of gas which is what 2 gallons of gas. anyway after about 100 yards of pulling out of the station the car started missing and idleing VERY ruff. RPMs went down to like 2-300 rpm and i made it maybe 300 more yards and it died. so i went to the store and bough a can of dry gas and put in another gallon of GOOD gas and now it will start up and idle for maybe 10-15 secs and run really ruff and die. ive tried to start it for like and hour, nothing. do you guys have any suggestions on this.oh yea i recently installed a walboro 255lph fuel pump. however ive been driving the car for 3 days with no problems until now. the pump comes on and sounds strong. any suggestions? i dont believe its a pump issue b/c ive prob driven 30 miles on it with no issues and i happend all at once after putting gas in.

That sounds like the story of my pump. Car was running fine as I pulled in a gas station. After topping her off she would start, idle rough and then died. FUEL PUMP was gone. 800 dollars later I was driving again.

You could try changing your fuel filter.

i surely hope not, i just put in that wally 255lph. i was giving it hell prior to getting gas? the pump still comes on and seems to be pumping strong from the sound of it. guess i need to check the fuel pressure eh and go from there if i cant get it started.
