I think that my fuel gelled. I put in a red bottle of the power service stuff after it died and it didn't help.
After I put it in, I filled the filter too like it says on the bottle and I made it about 4 miles till it died again. It was up to about 6° today but had been down to -3° last night.
I stopped at the station I bought the fuel from and he said that it is blended but they didn't know the mixture without calling someone that was gone for the day.

whatnot - 911 works very well on gelled fuel...it might take a bit for it to do the trick though....I wonder if you got some water (now ice) in the lines too??

-3? Shouldn't be having any fuel issues at that temp. I don't know what PS911 uses, but it sounds like its not even good for a last resort. I think the best fix for fuel quality issues is prevention, use a good fuel additive with lubricity improver, pour point reducer and water demulsifier at a minimum. I don't care much for anything PS makes, but I don't know a great deal about it.

Here is a link to in on their website: http://www.powerservice.com/diesel_911Winter_app.asp

I don't know if I could have any water in it but the filter didn't look too bad when I had it out.
If it didn't gell, what should I be looking for? I was thinking that the fuel line might have gotton slightly pinched off by the guy that changed the transmission but it had been running fine since I got it back (almost a week) so I doubt that is the problem.

I had gone about 20 miles today before it died. I was able to get it going again a couple times to get to a Napa to buy the PS by running the lift pump till fuel came out the bleeder but it took about 5 minutes each time.

whatnot - is there anyway you can get your truck inside? (a heated shop, of course, would be best)
Also, where in wisconsin are you???

It is still 15 miles away. I had to get a ride home.
After I get it back, the best I could do is put maybe get in the shed and point the salamander heater at it.

I am near Madison.

Well, at least it would be inside out of that damn bone chilling wind.....those salamanders do a good job of heating things up (provided that the fuel isn't jelled up in them, that is http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif) Did the fuel pour out of the filter before you put the 911 in, or was it solid?

The filter was pretty much empty and under a lot of vacuum. The fuel was about the thickness of 5w30 oil at room temperature but there is a heater in the filter and the engine compartment was warm.

Sure sounds to me like there is ice in the line between the filter and tank, but I could be wrong.......

If it is ice, will I have to heat it up or will the PS 911 eventually melt it?
I might get someone to haul it home tomorrow. If there is a chance that it might have melted, I might just get a ride over to it and try driving it home first.

nothing fixes this like a warm place for the truck to sit, or a heater to heat it up if it is gelled.
