Water and fuel dont mix that well.Water is heavier than petrol but is still drawn into the carbarettor.Here it will sit in the fuel bowl and severely interrupt fuel supply,resulting in engine missing and stalling.Result same for injected petrol system.With diesel(derv,heavy fuel)the engine will probably still run "ok" but not recommended.

The water will settle to the bottom of the tank. The fuel pump is located on the bottom of the tank which means it will be picked up first and sent to the injectors. Water will not burn so the car will not start or will but run rough and die. You can by a gas drier or pay less and go to the drugstore and buy some alcohol.

What would cause your engine light to come on besides your gas cap being loose?

possibly air in the gas tank. this happens sometimes if you keep pumping a little at a time, trying to get to an exact amount. It could also be water in the gas tank. this happens in cold weather sometimes. you can buy a bottle of drygas or something similar at a gas station. it only costs a few bucks and gets the water out. it could also be some kind of debris in the gas tank.
