But I know this is causing the filter to get plugged up quickly and i'm hitting steep hills at 40 mph max with white smoke out the tail.
The piston rings are my next mission. I have been considering soaking them with berrymans chem-dip while I pop test and clean injectors.

GregMN and myself are of the opinion that there is no issues. I am only offering you my honest opinion. Filter got plug up because you put diesel in. It may be strange but it is true. Diesel will dissolve the polymerisation in the fuel tank and plug up the filter. You may have to change the filter often until all the junk in the tank is out. That is all there to it. Your IP is clean and is not compromised, trust me. You will not be able to restore piston rings by soaking it with any solvent, or MMO. Coking of piston rings happens to engine which does not see a minute of WVO, otherwise they will run forever. Coking happens when you burn diesel, WVO or WMO.
Anyway, it is your car, time and money. You can do whatever you like to it. If it were my car, I would do nothing.
