Would having my powershot mounted in my tool box cause any type of gelling of my diesel fuel since the lines run beneath it? Just wondering if that is why my truck died the other day.

i don't know much about the powershot setup, but why do you think it would have caused diesel gelling? i didn't think any of the LPG setups change any diesel routing??

Could be, Ben. If the propane line is fastened to the fuel feed line, it could've gelled the fuel. Have you ever seen a propane tank feeding a BBQ on 'high' burner when the tank is nearly empty? They get very frosty from the rush of liquid changing state to a vapor at low cylinder pressures. So I guess it could've happened to you. If this proves correct, try insulating one or both lines where they run along side together.

Ben,

Propane injection would have nothing to do with the diesel fuel gelling. Gelling happens in the fuel tank.

Thanx powershotone. BTW, my pane lines and diesel lines are not close.
