The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Unlucky lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel.
