put water in his diesel clio

As Diesel prices are high I thought I had a solution yesterday, but I may have made a mistake.

The Clio has more than enough power for normal town driving, so I figured I could get away with diluting the Diesel a little. I waited until the tank was 3/4 full, and then topped it off with water, so that I would have a 75/25 Diesel/water mixture. The thinking being i could save a load on Diesel over the next few months.

This morning I started the car to go to work, but I didn't make it to the end of my street before the car started stumbling and making strange noises. Then it died completely and it won't start up again.

Can someone help me? I'm not sure what I did wrong. I've heard that fuel cell cars are powered by water, so I wouldn't think that a little water would cause any trouble.

have I caused serious damage or is the problem unrelated?

Cheers
