xyzzy

Well, I love my new CUCV. However, this morning, after a night of sub-freezing temps, I can't get it started.

The starter spins, but it just won't -quite- turn over and run. It sounds like it's about to, but it just doesn't quite start. Batteries seem fine. It's also on Manual Glow plugs.

My truck was delivered from Arkansas, and I have a feeling the fuel in the truck doesn't have the additives that are put into the fuel here in Colorado.

My question is, should I just use starter fluid? I've never used starter fluid before, and have heard many of times on this forum to "never use starter fluid". What other alternatives are there at this point?

Would just buying winter additive and adding it to the fuel be sufficient?

I have a feeling the fuel has just jelled.

Thanks!
