Diesel Purge
Is great stuff. I changed the canister fuel filter today, and filled the new one with diesel purge before restarting. With the filter filled to the top, the engine restarted without even a stumble. I proceeded to drive like I stole the car for a couple miles.
I thought the idle was smooth before, but dang, it is so much smoother now.

I also did mine today, but I don't think you got the full benefit from the purge. Optimally you might have been better off to isolate the fuel tank by either using a plastic bottle and running the purge undiluted directly into the pre-filter. I purchased a plastic bottle with hoses and fittings from another source and it was extremely easy and yes a great improvement. I just got the car so it's complete history was unknown to me. I actually ran two bottles thru, changed the canister filter and the pre-filter.

Probably not, as the incoming fuel dilutes the diesel purge, but the car was well maintained, so it runs well. I have another bottle, so I'll run it straight at some point.
