I appreciate the input.

I removed a few delivery valves and noticed crystalized gas chunks, i am assuming that there is this theoughout the pump. The car right now is in storage and wont be worked on for a few months. Is there anything i can put in the ip to break down this gas or does it warrant a rebuild? I honestly have no clue or drive to learn to rebuild, i just want this daily driving by next year (the main issue is money now otherwise i wouldnt see an issue having it run in a few days).

Other than a full tear down and thorough cleaning - it will be tough to get it reliable anytime soon without some headaches and breakdowns in between.

So many different shapes and sizes and things inside the pump where that stuff can hibernate. It would be rolling dice to try flushing it the best you can - but if you have time to spare - thats all it would cost is your time.
Well , plus X amount of gallons of diesel to flush with.

Your injectors will need disassembled and cleaned too.
Nozzles cleaned and surfaced.

Entire fuel system will need to be sterilized too, tank and lines.
Plus an additional micro-fine fuel filtering set up installed.

Would probably go at it with some fittings that would screw into delivery holes and put rubber fuel hoses on them into a container.
Hook up a gravity feed supply and run the drill

The filter should have stopped the sugar from making it to the pump.
Unplug the pump.
 Swap the "OUT" bolt with a normal banjo to increase flow. Check to see if the "OUT" bolt screen is clogged and stopping fuel from leaving the pump.
Crank it with the normal banjo. This should help flush nastys from the pump.
Plug it back in, maybe followed by some diesel purge with the normal "OUT" bolt.
