I've got an OM606 W210 which seems to be running pretty well, but judging by the state of the fuel filler (it was like a dirty old chip pan 'til I cleaned it) the car's spent some time running on veggie oil mixed with diesel.
Other than the filters / in tank strainer (which I'd expect to need sorting), I'm a bit concerned about other greasy deposits building up in the fuel injection system, so would it be worth sticking some Redex for diesel in the tank to try and flush things through?
I've used redex successfully in the past to unclog a very coked up 70's carb engine, but is it just 'snake oil' where modern(ish) diesels are concerned?
