Re: Damn cold weather
Well.. I guess I got lucky, it seems the gelling was only localized in the filter or so it seems. I got a blow dryer and shot the filter for a good 20-30 minutes, then shot the injection pump for a while and the injector lines and all that then blew hot air into the intake for a bit while I had my brothers car hooked up to my batteries with jumper cables. A few start attempts with the heat back and forth from the fuel filter to the intake and it finally fired back off and kept running. At that point I drove it to the nearest fuel station and filled it with diesel. I had about 16 gallons still in there of about B50 I'd say.
So I guess I got lucky, but next time cold weather comes I do believe i'll be filling up with diesel the day before. Funny thing is my dad had more of this peanut biodiesel in it than my truck did and his was fine.
