Not neccessarily transfixed but we had a Saab 9-3 that would routinely shut down to limp home mode as soon as you put supermarket fuel in it (yes really). The EGR would gum up on account of the very high pressures in the common rail causing the diesel to break down with the effect of appearing to run lean. More diesel was added by the ECU causing more soot and a EGR valve error. DPfs can also be problematic with urban journeys (lots of posts to substanciate my claim) and so I believe we are getting to the point that legislation (euro 5 etc) is outstripping basic diesel technology.
