Petrol maybe , but diesel fuel is more like thin oil , Also remember with the engine running around 95 C + inside that the fuel evaporates off and leaves through the crankcase ventilation so it is continually cleansing itself . It has never been a problem causing damage with volvos . That doesn't mean fuel dilution isn't a problem with faulty or neglected systems …
