Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather quickly.
Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BN18 Postcode - Houghton Misfueling
What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel classic Land Rover Defender 110 in Houghton. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only bought it a week back right after my other one, which I owned for about thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious West Sussex lady!
