My father-in-law has a Dodge Ram Cummins; about 5 years ago my mother-in-law called me out of the blue, frantic. Seems she'd pumped quite a bit of gas in the tank before she realized what she was doing. She enlisted my help. The truck would run but was very down on power; I nursed it into a local truck shop and in a day or so it was good as new. In that case I don't think they had to do anything more than drain the tank and change the filter.

I have seen, through my job, several later model diesel cars (and some gasoline models) that had the old switcheroo and didn't fare as well. Most recently was a BMW that ended up with a repair bill over $10k. No, it didn't need an engine, just a whole lot of other stuff!
