I have never mis-fueled, but the chap next door used to run his picasso HDI on scrapyard diesel that his brother got for him, 1 HP fuel pump and set of injectors later he started using pump diesel. those HP pumps are a bit more than 100 bar, old pug 306 D turbos inject at 175 bar and will run on just about anything, modern common rail diesels are scary high pressure (the current 1.6 hdi is 1600 bar) so the pump needs to have the lubrication or they die really quickly.
