I wouldn't drive it to prevent further damage.

Sketchy diesel fuel often has water contamination. The water will stall your car and cause heavy damage to the high pressure fuel pump.

The engine dying like that and very difficult start is indicative of fuel contamination.

There is an extended warranty (10yr, 120k miles) on the high pressure fuel pumps, and dealers will take care of that on Bosch's money. It requires a complete fuel system replacement.
But still avoid sketchy fuel stations like the plague.
