The ethanol will emulsify the water into the gasoline. By the description you gave, I wouldn't expect there to be that much water to enter your tank, unless your gallon fuel container was mostly water to begin with.

If, for example, there was one or two cups of water in the gallon can, the two or three gallons of ethanol should be sufficient to suspend all of the water in the tank into the gasoline.

You'd be surpised at how much water can enter your tank just through ordinary fuel station fillups.
