Hey, so ive been putting off some pmcs & repairs on the 1009, but I finally got the itch to drive it again. Got in and laid on the new starter & glows, fired right up. But then it started surging and idling high, eventually stalling. It starts if it sits for a little bit and gives me about 1-3 seconds of run time. Also, I opened the water drain on the filter and got 3-4 drops to come out, and thats being generous.
Had these symptoms, due to a leak in some fuel line. All the lines are new so im partially ruling this one out. I think its gelled fuel b/c it still has a full tank of summer diesel, and it peaked at 22F today.
Would plugging in the block heater actually warm the block enough to heat the IP and injectors up enough to get things flowing again? I dont have any real heat source for this truck, unless a blow dryer actually would put a dent in something like this.
I did throw in a bottle of diesel 911, and 10 ounces of power service conditioner. The diesel 911 bottle says that in case of gelling, remove filters and refill with a 50% mix of 911, but im a little weary of adding something so thin in such high quantities right down the throat of the IP.
