My truck 87 6.9 non turbo was all good 6 months ago when parked after getting home from a 300 mile drive on 50/50 wmo diesel blend. Now I need to start it so I can sell it, but its not starting not even with a very careful shot of ether....I am thinking that I will pull fuel filter and fill with diesel cleen and or 100% diesel....what do you guys think?
she would turn over alot and never really catch.....she would fire with the ether but would not stay running.....I guess im just in a rush and i am letting this little problen get the best of me, any suggestions?

ATF in the filter or any good injecter cleaner will hopefully unstick the possible gummed up pump. might want to check if fuel is even getting to the filter and the injecters too.

If wmo was left in it, it's probably gummed up.
If it's manual trans, have someone drag you down the road with it in 3rd.
