I'd guess timing chain or contaminated fuel... Sugar for example will lock an engine up tight. You sure someone didn't pull an EXPENSIVE prank on you?

If you filled it with deisel fuel it would have a white smoke from the exhaust pipe.

If there is water in the fuel the engine would not run (just like you are describing).

You can remove the cam cover and do a visual check of the timing chain, tensioners, etc.

Also, you can do a compression test to see if you have valve, piston, or cylinder damage.

sugar in the gas tank won't do anything to a modern car.
