  Caution
If the fuel tank has been filled with incorrect fuel, irreversible damage to high-pressure components, especially the high-pressure pump, can occur due to lack of lubrication by the diesel. Damage due to seizure and metal particles can be expected. These metal particles will probably cause further damage to pressure regulating valves and injectors.
