Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.
Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Westwood - Fuel Rescue Westwood
This was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was stirring. It was pretty quiet thus far, and me and Brian were sitting about looking through some old papers. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Wiltshire. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice explained: "I have ended my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic yellow BMW 525 by mistake". We told him to tell us where exactly the car was and we set off, getting to him in Westwood under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thank you for showing up so quickly.
