XC90 tank filled with diesel by mistake XC90 2008

Maybe Klaus will be reading this as well as others so comments/advice welcome.
Our young friend left for Twin Cities in her XC90 on the wkend and while refueling in a small city on the prairies had her fuel tank mistakenly filled with diesel. She didn`t get far when the XC90 started to lose power & finally quit. She had the vehicle towed to a non Volvo shop(this is the middle of nowhere!) She told them it seemed to be a fuel or fuel delivery problem but their response was "Yeh, right!!" Anyway, it was finally determined that indeed the tank had been filled with diesel so they flushed the tank, etc. The service station covered her tow bill, 2 nites in a motel plus shop costs. Apparently, their fuel supplier has done this 3 times over the previous 18 months.....time to get a new supplier??
Anyway, my question is: could there be any potential residual damage?
Thanks,
Rich
