It felt as though it was ging to tear itself appart. Long story short - dirty fuel rails. Mechanic said NEVER fill up when you see a fuel truck filling gas station's tanks.

Its still a valid point!Bad gas at a petrol station is a realistic thing,but as a member here already pointed out,any dirt would be caught by the cars fuel filter(s),so wouldnt get to the engine.But would still block your filters and you would get decreased performance.
However,water content in the diesel is unfortunately also more common than it should be at the filling stations,and this the filters cant stop it from going straight to the engine and doing damage to injectors ,not all at once.....
