[diesel_mercedes] Those Pesky _FACTS_ Again !

 



Just so Bill ! .


How else do you think Tom and I survive tooling 'round in our low budget clapped out junkyard rigs ?


We always try to dot every 'I' and cross every 'T' so when things go sideways , there's much more room for errors .

[diesel_mercedes] No Cold Start Again

 



O.K. ;


So , you cycle the glow plugs then hold the throttle to the floor and operate the starter , it turns over O.K. , not sluggishly but never coughs ?  no black puffs from the exhaust ? .


Or , does it s l o w l y crank over like it's a 6 volt ? .


Or . do you only hold onto the starter for a few moments then stop because you're worried about overheating the starter ? .


Is the clear plastic intake screen full of bluish fuel or black coffee looking stuff or tiny chinks of miniature coal ? .


You _DO_ have a clear plastic intake screen , right ?  _RIGHT_ ?! .


I know there's an answer in there somewhere , we just have to keep picking away at the details until we find it .


If you have electricity anywhere near the car , put an old tech hair dryer blowing warm/hot air into the air intake ducts .


Me , I'da dumped in the entire bottle of Diesel Kleen while it was running then after a good 30 minutes , I'da driven it to fill the fuel tank with fresh Diesel Fuel .

At about 4 o'clock today when it was about 55 degrees in the garage it started up again and it has been running since. I didn't put the white bottle of diesel kleen last time and it was down below a quarter tank. When it stoped running it was about 20 degrees and had been sitting in 20 degree weather for about 6 hours. I don't know if this is another example of diesel fuel gelling or freezing or something but it is running now.

I had tried the red bottle diesel 911 but it didn't do any good. I also had put diesel heat in the tank before this happened. I hope I didn't cause any damage.

Thank you thank you for your help.
