ID This Part...
It is from the fuel system of a diesel engine. The white flakes are carboxilate salts from succonate corrosion inhibitors reacting with sodium.
Question - what is the name of this part?

Is that a screen-like material under the corroded stuff? If so, that looks like a fuel pickup screen housing that you usually see attached to the end of a fuel pump in a fuel tank.

Got any more info on what kind of Diesel it came out of? Did it come directly out of the pump (or did it even have an injection pump... or a common rail), or was it part of the supply system?

The white deposit is a carboxilate salt from the reaction of sodium with succanate corrosion inhibitors. Never was an issue until ULSD - those salts are no longer soluble.

I think the white deposit is a carboxylate salt from the reaction of sodium with succanate corrosion inhibitors. It was never an issue until Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel - those salts are no longer soluble.
that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Dilithium crystals formed on the turbo encbabulator screen due to reversed polarity of the inductive flux muster. Reverse the wires and it will buff right out.
