Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad vehicle performance, usually ending in your vehicle breaking down. Therefore, if your car starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

It's typically mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody isn't aware of this and tries to add it straight into the tank, it will cause problems. You will start to notice the same signs mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it.
