You haven't put GAS in your tank by mistake?

A service station attendant did this to our CE80 Corolla at the start of a
trip. It ran fine for a few km, then lost power and began blowing big
clouds of white smoke. I shut it down and towed it back to town, where the
problem was discovered. I had thought a piston had failed. No damage, as
far as can be told. But the entire fuel system had to be cleaned out.
