Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.
Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and nobody was about. It was pretty uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around reading several old newspapers. That was a rare restful moment in West Sussex. Actually it was so calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I only just concluded my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my father's Citron DS5 in error". I got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Bolney an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for showing up so fast. As we were going back home we found two young women at the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much to their elation.
