At 4F here, the 2.5 started quickly after two glow cycles. I did add anti-gel (Power Service?) a couple of days earlier. The SDL started almost as fast - also had the stuff added to the tank, but it was an alomst full tank, and didn't get many miles to mix it in. The battery crapped out in the

Well its 4 outside, my 85 300D would not start, with the final attempt the glow plug light wouldnt even come on. Burned up 3 glow plugs. Next, 300SDL, starts but will not stay running. I think it has a plugged up fuel filter or something. For the last several days wife says its real slow in

No, I dont think so because it was showing symptoms before the weather got cold. Fixing to change the filter, have to pick one up at the local mcparts place, they didnt have one in stock but will have one here in a few minutes. Jim Cathey wrote: Next, 300SDL, starts but will not stay

I would normally agree and it could be jelled fuel but I dont think so as it started doing this sort of thing(although not so bad to where it wouldnt stay running) even before the temps dropped. I think it got down to 0 last night. Marshall Booth wrote: Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: Well its 4

Im not sure what they do for the fuel down here, I assume its somewhat winterized but cant say for sure. I just replaced both filters but cant bleed/start it because the wife took off with the keys. I told her she was on her own when she got back home to get it going because I wont be here.
