Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite easily.
You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP14 Postcode - Finningham Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Mazda MX-6 in Finningham. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a backwater road on the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just acquired it a few days back right after my old one, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Suffolk lady!
