You’re talking about water injection, which is very, very different from having water in your fuel lines, which will make the car not run at all. Water has a higher specific density than gasoline, and will settle to the bottom of the tank, which is where the fuel pump pickups are located. And an internal combustion engine cannot combust water because it’s… water.
Water and gasoline do mix just fine in small amounts. When the car is moving it shakes enough to mix a little more. This is small amounts though, they may be mixing more water than that.
Other reports suggest this isn’t a case of mixing water, but instead a low grade gasoline that shouldn’t be used in engines because of ocatane.
