Re: filament for use in Diesel fuel
I'm not sure that Nylon is the best, just because it absorbs liquid. Test PLA, which surprisingly is rather chemically resistant.
Aside from all of this I'm not sure I'd put any 3d print into a fuel tank unless I 100% knew that it wouldn't break down at all. I'm sure this is what you're already thinking

Random google search netted this neat tool:

Out of curiosity - what are you printing that goes into diesel fuel? whats the application? I'm a TDI guy myself, I have 3, one making around 4x stock power
