What Are Possible Symptoms of Bad Diesel Fuel?

As my black smoke/no power symptoms http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/339765-1995-e300d-weak-acceleration-black-smoke-above-2500-rpm.html came at roughly the time I filled up the tank for the first time, it made me curious what symptoms people have seen as the result of BAD FUEL (other than the obvious symptoms of contaminants clogging filters). I'm sure I've got bigger issues that need to be addressed....but it would be nice of bad fuel might be an explanation. 1995 E300D.
