get some diesel dry gas put some in the tank. and look into the engine bay and look for either a button or a knob..that should be youer water emptier, press that after you refill the tank and it is running.

this happened to my stepdads truck the other day. he brought it to thge dealer and they said to do that.



or look at the fuel filter it might b frozen

I know water builds up.. but theres this little magic filter on top of my engine bay that catches it, and you replace it every 5000 miles so that doesn't happen.. its not water in my fuel trust me.. its the fact that its so freakin cold out, I didn't have my **** plugged in, and I damn near wore out my starting battery so I have to let it sit and get a charge built up before I try again which will hopefully let the block heat up a bit... don't know what kind of diesels you work on but my ford doesn't have that

I had a diesel Mercedez. I wonder if it had one of those water thingies... I never noticed but it was had as **** to start. So i would leave it plugged in. If that did not work I would squirt a little ether into the intake wait a few seconds then start it.

i think some MMO is ok for starting a diesel

do you put winter additive in it and when is the last time you

changed the glow plugs?

TheAntiChrice 01-18-2004 09:00 PM

Glow Plugs are fine, just fixed the glow plug relay, still have to shocks in the front, add sidesteps, replace the clutch slave cylinder.. then I found out the heater block plug wiring was rotted out... snapped off clean when I rolled the truck out of the middle of the street and onto the side of it. Then to top my night off.. after playing football at Harwood high school... jumped the fence, caught my right knee, barrel rolled when I hit the ground and stood up to find I gashed my right knee open slightly and tore my most comfortable jeans on the knee bad... A day that was salvaged by some exercise.. but still shitty.. ARGH...
