What happens when you put 91 in a diesel?

What happens if you put 98 instead of 91?
It can’t hurt your engine if you use a higher octane fuel. So, for example, if you use 95 or 98 in an engine designed for 91, that’s OK. If you run them on a higher octane fuel than the minimum recommended, you will get either better economy or more performance (depending on how you drive).
