Sorry. In order to use water for fuel, you have to have some way to react the constituents of that water. The only way to do that is to reduce water to its constituent parts: hydrogen and oxygen. But to do that takes energy. Slightly more energy, in fact, than you get from reacting the hydrogen and oxygen to form water again (because of ineffiencies due to heat loss, et cetera) No.
