Description of the problem	On wednesday september 23rd at or around 3:40 pm, i pulled into an arco fuel station to top off my vehicle. I still had a 1/4 of a tank left but decided to fuel up anyway. The vehicle took approximately 11 us gal of no. 2 diesel fuel. After fueling my vehicle, i drove off the fuel station. Approximately 3/4 of a mile away from the fuel station, my engine stalled out and then the glow plug icon on my instrument cluster began to flash. I had my vehicle towed to the nearest vw dealership service department. The following day the service technician contacted me and informed me that my high pressure fuel pump(hpfp) had failed and that it had contaminated my entire fuel system with metal shavings. The way the technician explained what had happened to the fuel pump was, "your fuel pump grenaded", his exact words.
