No worries at all, in fact, you've just winterised it :-)

Look, it's straightforward. It's only common rail diesels that the dire
warnings apply to. A 106 is not a common rail diesel.

I don't care how many over-simplified doom'n'gloom warnings you come up
with.

It seems totally ironic that diesels like my ex 17 year-old Astra,
manufactured before people started to worry about the environment, could
quite happily run on 100 per cent Bio-diesel. Yet there are warnings in the
handbook about using any more than a five per cent mixture in my less than
five-year-old focus!
