I had water in my tank for the first time ever a week ago. Filled up the day before, car sat overnight and the next day took five attempts to get the engine to turn over. After it belched smoke and ran rough for a few minutes it stabilized and went back to normal so must have passed the contaminants that had sunk to the bottom of the tank. Put a bottle of HEET in to bind up any remaining water and have been running normally since.
On my Facebook groups for this car had several people last week with similar stories.

Did you have a bad rainstorm in the area? That will do it
No and the car is kept in a garage. Never had issues during previous rainy weather, first time this had happened to me in my 26 years of driving.
I would try different gas stations then or better octane then.
