Wiley, in the good old days of Flight Engineers, no fuel uplift receipt was ever signed without sighting the water detection capsule from the refuelling agent, although there is one documented accident involving a 707 in India that was refuelled with water, a long time ago. If the fuel on this aircraft was contaminated, they would have flamed out long before it happened.
