Mine is a little slower to start but the last time I put fuel in it was
last August. I suspect that my glow plugs may not be heating as well. Usually
about 2-3 seconds is all it takes to fire off and it currently takes more
like 5 seconds of cranking before it fires. I have brand new batteries that
are fully charged and it cranks very energetically so the glow plugs (one
or both) are my initial suspects. I hold the glow plug button in for 30
seconds before pushing the starter button and usually it fires after just a
few
revs as I said.
I never really thought about fuel issues. What sort of changes in diesel
fuel have you heard about and how would they alter performance?
