Yeah, but a filter would do good enough for less hassle. You could probably spin a bunch of crap out of diesel fuel straight from the pump but the engines are made to tolerate a certain amount of crud. Nothing lasts forever and for me, it's not worth it to try and get an engine to last forever if the car is going to rust around it anyway. I get 2000 miles out of a 5 micron filter on wvo that I let sit in a barrel for 30 days.
