NO!!!
Pour it in a small gas container and when you have time, separate them at home. Use the gas in a lawn mower or if you can get all of the water out, pour the pure gas back into the tank.
I would recommend Googling "aviation gas water" to understand why it is important to keep any form of water out of the tank . . . really important. But the same references should include field techniques for separating the water out and leaving usable gas behind. Here are some useful hints:

You really don't want any water coming close to the tank.
