Last time I did a diesel purge I connected my air compressor to the fuel line and blew about 20psi down it. (tank was less than 1/2 full) I opened the fuel cap too. That blew away any gunk that had collected on the strainer and the amount of fuel getting into the primary filter has increased. That was six months ago and the strainer has not clogged up yet.
