Good morning ;
No , I've been remiss ~ I used to keep right on top of things like this but now as long as it starts and runs I leave it alone ~ I'm almost 400 miles past regular hot oil and filter change mileage because that damned Wagon was up on jack stands awaiting a brake caliper....
I'm keep to get back to it , I run Diesel Kleen or Startron most fillups , when I took the secondary (spin on) fuel filter off the replace the weepy O-Rings , I was pleased and not a little bit surprised to see only crystal clear fuel in it , not a spec of crud to be seen so maybe I'm closing in on things .
I did drive by the Brentwood filling station that used to sell B20 veggie Diesel but they only have Dino Diesel now .
It rained most of yesterday , I was in Tom's garage getting filthy installing the heat welded Polyethylene fuel tank again , they used two different plastic drink bottles for ' welding rod ' when they fixed it , after I gor everything buttoned back up it refused to start , I tested everything and all was good but still no spark so i took the entire electronic ignition apart and laboriously hand polished every connector , tightened up the eight screws holding the dual fuel bowls on the double pumper carby to stop the gas leaks and it roared into life , I drove it to the gas station , filled it up NO LEAKS
in the rain then kinda cleaned up and happliy drovd home in my beloved 300CD Sports Coupe , firmly planted on the greasy wet freeway , when I got off on Crenshaw some drug dealer / hood rat (?) decided to hassle me , I was able to out run him and after a while he gave up and turned off .lord how I love this good looking , comfy and safe old car =8-) .

You haven't done a Diesel Purge recently?! For shame....
It would be interesting to see what, if any, effect it has on an IP in your condition. Maybe you should try it for the sake of science.
I was kinda kidding about the veg oil. Kinda....
