Finally we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Bollihope and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue Contamination
All over County Durham we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.
Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.
