I am no mechanic, but I have read on a few forums (one ref Volvo Penta engines) that water in the fuel system causes steel to rust and some types of injectors have little steel balls inside them and if they rust the injector will be permanately damaged and a misfire will occcur so water must be burnt off asap, I used the meths within a week of so of realising I had water in my fuel tank, I have no idea if I am sitting on a time bomb of rusting engine parts
Really interesting blog here ref said (not very impressed with his storing fuel under his desk though!):
