I believe the only path for fuel to oil is via the lift pump or one of the IP pump elements. I know oil can get into the fuel tank through a ruptured lift pump. Is the opposite true? I'm not sure, but that's where I'd look first. Drain the sump and fill with fresh oil first. Then suck some diesel out of the fuel tank and see if it's black and dark in color.
