Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.
Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Piddinghoe - Fuel Rescue Piddinghoe
This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2am and noone was about. It had become pretty dead until now, and Brian and I were sitting around reading a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful time in East Sussex. It was so quiet that when the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the opposite end told me: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the well worn VW Fox by mistake". We asked him to tell us just where he was and we set off, getting to him in Piddinghoe no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle.
