Effect of fuel contamination

Not a pilot, just an interested party here.
(and not a journo either)

Could someone please explain to me the effects of contaminated fuel? I can understand that fuel that contains "something extra" could cause less than optimum performance from an engine, even no performance in the worst case, but I am a loss to imagine how bad fuel could cause an engine to stick, for example, at 70%n1
