There have been instances of contaminated fuel in the past but that would more likely cause a stall of the engines. A pilot should have enough time to radio if the engines stalled and normal procedure for that at least with some arilines is to dump small amounts of fuel while attempting restart
Also, he would have tried to restart them while gliding. It would go against what this Air Comet pilot is saying. He is spanish, so who knows if he is trustworthy or not. Just because women from Spain are hot, doesnt mean the pilots are smart
