If by breather you mean the air filter......yes.
Diesel coming out of the tank breather pipe on a 1997 non-turbo diesel van may indicate a few issues. It could be due to overfilling the fuel tank, causing the excess fuel to escape through the breather. Alternatively, a blocked or malfunctioning tank vent can create pressure that forces fuel out. Lastly, a faulty fuel cap or damaged breather hose might also contribute to this problem.
try running with fuel cap open. If it keeps running, breather in fuel cap blocked, strip fuel cap and clean.
To quote someone else, the breather pipe may be blocked. Unclog it and it should work fine.

Fuel filter blocked or tank breather blocked
Most common cause of unusually high fuel comsumption is a fuel leak. Other possiblities include leaking injectors, faulty O2 sensor, vacuum leak or incorrectly adujsted intake valve.
It might be a partially blocked fuel injector or low fuel pressure or possibly even a partially blocked fuel filter.
an air filter
Normally you do not get carbon buildup on injectors. They can get gummed a little, or blocked, but that should not cause backfire. Check timing.
yes. It does, because you breathe in the fuel which is pollution, then it goes through your lungs, then it gets blocked with your blood which simulates through your body, then you die.
Absolutely, a clogged filter means the pump has to work harder causing the motor to overheat and eventually burn out.
Yes a mechanical cam type fuel pump can leak out the breather hole on the bottom of casting of fuel pump
