Lubro Moly Diesel Purge is the full name.  Good squirrel piss, as it
actually does something, unlike most of the other stuff.

Why do you say this? Is it too hard on the metal? I've heard of coolant
passages
getting thin on older blocks.

You don't want to change tolerances by removing metal chemically.

You could commandeer the household dishwasher, use regular dishwasher soap,
or better, one of those new Electrosol "tabs" with the blue ball in the
middle. Furiously clean all traces of diesel fuel from the parts before
doing this with an evaporating brake cleaner.  After the rinse cycle, remove
parts when hot and wet, spray IMMEDIATELY with WD-40 to displace the water
and protect the Al from oxidation.  You may want to ensure the Department of
War and Finance is absent when all this goes on. Did I mention to get all
the diesel out of the pump? heh. it's pretty clingy as far as odors go, and
doesn't go well with the coffee cups, well okay , the household coffee
cups...
