Not much difference between diesel and oil.
Perhaps, but there is a world of difference between the tolerances
of a
fuel
injector pump and an oil pump.
True. But that's a red herring since it's not usually the oil pump
that
wears out due to dirty lubricating oil.
Not quite. A 350 Chevy engine will run for a long time, years maybe,
with
dirty
oil.
A diesel injection pump and/or injectors with dirty fuel will not.

Invalid statement.
Really? Without foundation. How so?
Are you saying a diesel will run a long time with dirty fuel?
No, I said that a diesel will run a long time with dirty oil.
In one case you are talking about lubrication oil,
in the other your are talking about fuel.
Correct. But that does that make those statements "invalid"?
Yes.
A diesel will run quite a
long time without changing the oil just a s gas engine will.
Of course it will.
But that has no relation to how long it will run with dirty or poorly
filtered
fuel. Other than to back up just what I was saying, that lubricating oil
does
not need to be filtered as well as fuel oil to keep a fuel injected engine
running.
Absolutely.
