It means that the fuel in gasoline station was mixed with water or water somehow got in gasoline stations or your cars fuel tank.

To get it out you can buy some special chemicals which collect water from your diesel in tank, and then burns it with diesel mixed ;)

Now if your talking about the idiot light that says water in fuel means need to change fuel filter. sensor on bottom of cap to fuel filter is touching the metal inside filter. all fuel has moister in it. The filter is a fuel separator.
