Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.
