Truck has been starting great, running awsome up until this morning. This morning it was a balmy 20* out when i went to start it up to let it defrost. Get in cycle the GPs, and gave it a spin...nothing. Tried again two more unsuccessful times. So i took my dads truck instead, luckily he was home.
Did not see anything come from the exhaust, so im lead to believe i have either a frozen filter or gelled fuel. After it warmed up while i was out my dad tried to start it to unsuccessful times. He said the same thing, nothing out the exhaust but cranked very strong. Seems its not getting fuel. I didnt check the sharader valve as i had to leave for the doctors.
I know it has at least 3/4 tank. Batteries are new G31s, starter was just replaced with a gear red unit, elimated 99% of the air intrustion with new olives and soft line i could access and it fired right up with authority yesterday and previously with no issues. I cant plug it in because its parked across the street. So i stopped by Wal-mart on my way home from the doctors and errands and got a bottle of diesel 911. I poured half the bottle in the tank just incase it did gel up. Im gunna try to fire it up in a few and see if the 911 did anything. If not tomorrow im gunna try it once again and it nothing im gunna pull the filter, see what it looks like and fill it with the rest of the 911 and give it hell.
If it is indeed gelled fuel what should i do to prevent this from happening again? I filled up at the same station i always do, same pump (i wait until i can get the same pump). Kinda ****** me off i did all that work and spent the coin to eliminate all the varibles (batteries, starter, olives/fuel line) and now its still giving me issues.
