You wont know what damage has been done until you drain the fuel tank, drain the fuel pump and try to start it again.

The station should pay for any damage to the vehicle, have the receipt handy.

Good luck.

The guy at the garage has drained the tank changed the filter and flushed it out . It started ok and has ran with no problems for 200 miles
do you think there would be ongoing problem or am i lucky.

Actually - they designed it with the expectation that people would do that - it can run on a diesel/gas mix - it doesn't run well - but it will run.
change filter / drain tank - and it'll be fine several folks have done it.

Did the service station pay to have it drained? If you have a pump failure in the near future you know who to blame.
