Probably a low probability, but easy to check. Get some fresh diesel and set up like you were going to do a diesel purge however do not allow the return fuel to go back into the container. Catch it in another container. Go ahead and try to start. After a few minutes, you can put the return line into the container and continue to try to start. You'll want enough to flush the secondary fuel filter (or replace that if not done recently)
This procedure will not only test for contamination, but also tank strainer clogging, primary fuel filter clogging etc.
