Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather expediently.
Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in OX12 Postcode - Westcot Misfueling
What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Suzuki Kizashi in Westcot. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel since I had only just bought it several days ago when my old one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Oxfordshire woman!

We fairly recently got a phone call about a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his dirty red VW Tiguan in Westcot. He had conked out on the street. "It was incredible how speedy you were in having a technician out to assist me when I erroneously unleaded in my diesel car. Thanks". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the technician said the motorist was scowling, but was pleased afterwards.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2am and almost noone was about. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were sitting around perusing a couple of old articles. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've ended my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in the boss' Peugeot 207". We instructed him to inform us exactly where he was and we set off, reaching him in Westcot less than half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the car. He said many thanks for arriving so promptly. While we were coming back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their delight.
