try to use it up once the car starts.

try another gas station. it's possible water is getting inside their underground tank at your usual station.

or just syphon the gas out. There are additives that remove water from gas also

This was the first time I used this station. I just moved to Bloomington IL and this was the first time I had to fill it up since I trailered the car down here. Would it be that immediate? If so should I run it dry then use a can to put new stuff in?

yah, depending on how much gas was in there before you refilled, some cars clunk out like a block after pumping bad gas.

if your dealer can pump the gas out i would try that first and refill at another station.
if that dont fix it, then probably the pump as others say

My steering lock and transmitter on the Z both went out last week. Luckily for me Nissan covered it all including the tow. It all depends on your model and year so get your VIN ran and see if yours falls into that. If so get it replaced asap!

Use empty gas can/cans and put it in another car after adding water remover, or save it for weed killer, or mix with styrofoam and make some napalm, or convert a super soaker into a flame thrower, or have some friends over for a giant bonfire and make them all some s'mores. There are plenty of options but
I would not recommend putting it in a toilet
