    runnin slop fuel what should i do?

    Man my centrafuge could make short work of that. When you pump it off the middle let it set for a few days more water and the metals that are suspended should settle to the bottom.

    Fuel question (I'm new to diesels)

    Most 6.2's have a fuel warmer just before the IP. You could mix it with regular diesel As long as you burt the whole tank and refueled with diesel with out shutting the engine off. Once it cools then you got pluged lines.

    Deuce Non-Start

    I agree with leaving the cable in. If you leave it out there is that much more bare metal to rust. That will help it stick in the out position.
