I would get everything in writing as well as a complete inspection of the engine. Hopefully its not damaged as a gas engine was not designed to run on diesel, and could have damaged the pistons, cylinders and valves/heads due to excessive compression.
The entire fuel system needs to be purged and refilled with fresh gas and new filters throughout, then monitored for the next several thousand miles.
What does Ford say about the warranty? If they will keep covering it then not a problem, otherwise the service station is now responsible for it. Get them to purchase an additional warranty to cover the engine if Ford will not agree to continue covering the engine.
I would as well get the owner of the service station to sign a statement that they are now responsible for the engine warranty of the car until its over. If they refuse then call a lawyer because once they miss-filled the car they more or less bought it.
