I would hope the filter is good. They just cleaned the tank and flushed the hoses cuz the fuel has become gel after sitting forever

Is the fuel filter good. I had a maximum speed problem like ypu are describing and it was a failing filter.
Just my $.02

Before you go tearing it all apart and tossing $ at it , try the basics :
Valve adjustment , fuel filter(s) change and a Diesel Purge , using a big clear filter in the return line as you're purging it , you might be amazed at the amout of crud that gets caught by the filter .
Adding a bottle of Power Service Diesel Kleen to the fuel tank is wise too .
These are pretty simple engines and usually don't need many new parts ~ bad injectors would have you trailing clouds of black or gray exhaust smoke .
