For my 85 300D it didn't really do anything. But for my mom's old 300SDL with the 603 it made it start waaaay easier... like as easy as a 617 starts.. and no smoking @ cold idle. But it was temporary, lasted a couple months before starting to do it again.

No it won't do anything for your vac pump.

Hear Now! You need to rid yourself of that "gasser" thinking.:D

Diesel Purge is strictly for the fuel system.

Some things to consider:
Ensure there is no algae in the fuel system (in-line, see-through filter is not black and remains clear for period of time)
Have new primary and secondary filters on-hand.
Do valve adjustment and run for at least 200 miles before determining usage of purge. (It is not a cure-all.)
