"Keep that fuel filter changed at 15K miles or less. I cannot stress this enough. If possible have an additional fuel filter installed."
Clean filtered fuel is a must with the modern tight tolerance fuel pumps. Racor makes an excellent add on filter, but there are certainly others. I like the type with a visible fuel bowl, SOMETIMES you can see a problem developing. Back in the late 70's I had a diesel and had some problems with bugs (bacteria) plugging the filter.
Good maintenance (frequent oil/filter changes and/or oil analysis) will go a long way to insure the additional up front cost of the Diesel engine will not go to waste.
