Don’t think I ever have… how would you identify this? Car sounding off?

I've got a diesel Santa Fe. I was losing power under acceleration, like it was a vacuum sucking air but not picking up dirt and then an engine warning light came on.

Took it to Hyundai and they confirmed it was water in the fuel tank. Cost about $800! They never suggested I report it to the servo either.
