Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors.

Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel.
