that would not be my first choice,
I would try some white bottle diesel service additive. about 1/2 a bottle on an empty or low tank just before filling the tank.
then run a pair of diesel purge bottles through the injectors, then replace both fuel filters... then change the air filter.
then change the oil and filter.
