Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] No Cold Start Again

I'm thinking you may have had some water in the fuel. Water suddenly
changes solid at 32F. Nothing will move.
Diesel gells at a lower temp. It will creep along, starting, stopping,
not getting full fuel.

Possibly some of the additives absorbed the water.
