A full cup of water or less can hurt any car's engine. While some very small amounts of water may find its way into fuel tanks naturally, any more water than this will cause a car serious problems. Should water get into a fuel tank, it is important to get it out again so the car's engine will operate properly.
There will be no permanent engine damage. The engine will simply not run.
