Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.
Take note that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Tortworth - Fuel Rescue Tortworth
This was certainly the night shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing some old newspapers. This was an unusual calm hour in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so peaceful that when the phone rang it made me start! The person told me: "I've just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel baby blue Land Rover Range Rover Classic in error". We instructed him to tell us where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Tortworth no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.
