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....

Truth be told Mark ;
I have not done a Diesel Purge since before I took the tank and sender apart last Summer , you may remember the amazing pictures of awful fungus growing inside the fuel sender .
I know of no where in L.A. to buy commercially done veggie Diesel and after veggie oil having destroyed my engine once , no way do I want to chance any home brew foolishness .

You're right on my wavelength here .
The circular piece of the elements is very snug fitting , I bought a small telescopic magnet to try and help fish them out the next time I'm in where .
The last time I took # 1 injector pipe off , I used starting fluid to try and blow the crud out , I know there's more underneath the piece I can yet get out .
Right now I still have the Wagon's doors apart and am also working on Tom's old 1979 Dodge D-200 crew cab truck...
No rest for the weary , right ? =8-) .

Yup, your mention of the IP crud made me think a piece may have made it to the mated surfaces in the tip. Then I'm thinking, how to flush the crud from the IP? Did you get to "feel" a piece of the crud? Hard or soft? My guess is the car sat and settled "fine particles" from older diesel fuel. Now it's flaking loose. I have not done this, but I wonder if the delivery valves on the IP were pulled, could a solvent be manually pumped through to flush it?
