I know it works in the sense of "priming the pump" nicely and
preventing excessive cranking, but is it clean enough to safely send
it into the IP unfiltered, or have I just been lucky so
Diesel purge straight from the can works.

Run out of gas?? I guess if you only have to fill up once every 1000 kms,
it's easy to forget the car needs fuel to run. lol. I, unfortunately, am
reminded often that my car runs on gas. hee hee.
I seem to have a leak in my tank, but when I drive slower, it leaks much
less for some reason. Hmm

190D (via fuel feed hose) after R&R on the injection pump.

the tank ( assuming the 70 litre tank size is correct) . What I ould
