drop to around 24 degF, which caught a few B100 folks by surprise this morning.
A friend of mine who had 1/2 a tank of b100 in his 2005 Jetta TDI wagon
hopped in his car, drove about a block, and stalled out. No way that solid
block of fuel was moving.
So... I met him with 5 gallons of petrodiesel and some diesel fuel anti
gelling additive and hoped we could get things flowing. No luck.
So... after wishing we had a hair dryer to warm up the fuel filter (and IP,
lines, etc)..we had an idea... Off we ran to the hardware store for an 8'
length of laundry dryer flex hose, and some foil tape. Hooked the hose to
the exhaust of my 86 Ford Ranger (turbo diesel)...stuffed it under the hood
of the jetta (as the bottom the car has a bunch of cowling)..and sat in the
warm Ford for about 20 minutes.
After a few attempts..The engine fired up!
It stalled out moments later, but one more try got it up and running.
Soon the 50/50 blend with additive was flowing, and it was smooth sailing.
Just thought I'd pass along the experience.
