I dont know if it will work on a diesel pick up tube, but its worth a look

Yeah you can just add a sock- buy a modern one and modify it to fit. The old brass ones were soldered on IIRC but you should be able to get a modern one (Saran?) and make it work.

AHAHAHAHA ITS ALIVE!

It kept stumbling at first like before but it seemed to keep trying harder and harder and finally it just started up. Had to purge a massive amount of air from the injector pump but it seems that was ultimately the only thing wrong. Now I'll need to give it a good workout to see how it does outside of the parking lot and go from there.

OK so in general the rover runs now, but I have to crank it forever to get it to go if I let it sit longer than a few minutes. I located a small leak coming from one of the metal lines going into the sedimentor. It is coming from the left line, middle of the U on the very bottom. Its so small that it just slowly seeps so my guess is its just rusted through. I can't find this part on the rovers north site though so either I'm not looking right or its not there. I could just hack it at a point before the leak, but I'd feel better with a new line.

If you cant make or buy another, then cut off the rusty bit until you can fit a new fuel line to the remaining pipe piece.
