diesel engine flush, using diesel fuel

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

has anyone done or know of this method?

basicly from what i have heard, you warm the engine upto normal operating temps, then drain the current oil from engine.

then refill with diesel fuel atleast 1/2 - 1L more than the oil limit. run again for X amount of time, drain, repeat once more.
after the 'engine flush ' change oil filter and put fresh new oil in, (recomended or better )

i have a freind that has a 1.5 dci kangoo van with noisey valves (tappets/solid lifters/buckets/hydralic lifters ) which ever the k9k engine has...

will this method of flushing help clear the said valve train components to reduce noise if they are blocked?
or will this f**k the engine up ?

info much appreciated thanks

the K9K has solid lifters, so no

Completely misread although if you run Diesel engines on biofuel it does clean the internals a little

oh i get you now , nope neither of us run biofuel. just plain old pump fuel with diesel injector aditive once every or so tanks
