How many miles are these trucks actually being driven in a year? It will probably be cheaper in the long run to run on good clean diesel with a proven diesel additive. It will start better, run better, and last longer and be more enjoyable to drive without having to fix all the problems that the...
All my diesel engines start better because the additive raises the cetane rating and they run quiter with the additive because the close tolerances are lubricated properly in the pump and injectors.
I do not believe in waiting until diesel gels to try to remedy the problem either!
One thing to consider here is ULSD begins to gel at about 12* F and bio diesel begins to gel at about 30* F. This is quite a bit of difference. The diesel will be ok in say a full tank but when it moves thru the smaller lines into the filter it gets colder and then plugs the filter.
Try heating the screws just enough to melt a candle good when touched to them. If you can get the right temperature the wax will melt and follow the threads down. Let the wax set up a little bit before trying to remove them. If the wax flows in correctly it will expand and the screw will come...
