Even if it did it might not help, not sure, but since diesel is oil and the sludge in our manifold is very oily it might just add to it.

Just to clarify. Carbon build up in the intake is a mixture of motor oil and soot. Carbon buildup in the head is the result of excessive idling and low load conditions.
