I fear it's more like the latter. The gas in question came from a proper 
pump at a motorway service station. I don't know what sort of 
concentration the water was, but I think we're at least into draining 
the tank and flushing territory, rather than just adding methanol.

My question really was around what is likely to have been damaged by 
trying to run on water: injectors? seals? cats? The insurance company 
are talking about writing the car off, so I'm just trying to get an idea 
of what I might be dealing with.
