I removed the fuel selector valve, lines a little bit dirty but nothing major. - Fuel selector to fuel filter line = Clear blowing both directions. - LH tank feed hose to selector valve = Pressurize tank, no fuel flow to valve, vent & return line vent air slowly. (Blow back from valve toward...

You are right, I will make the majority of my effort pressurizing the fuel tank & pushing the obstruction forward away from the tank. I drove the truck 650 miles up from Texas & it never gave me a hassle. Filled & drained both tanks twice during the trip. I guess I just lucked out it didn't...

Thanks wheelspinner, I will shoot it down the stack then. How many engine rotations does it take to get to the engine? Yes, it is a fuel delivery problem. The pump is pulling hard, the fuel filter is clean, the line between the two flows 100%. It has to be a clog up in or around the fuel tank...

The fuel tank selector switch would stop ALL fuel flow through the valve, even pressurizing the fuel tanks & trying to blow it through? I have to get me some of those ether cans, getting real tired of the 5-ton boogie :)

So you just fire it down the tall air intake stack?

Agree, I need block heaters bad. Both trucks are in extension cord range so yeah, no doubt. I'm gonna have to disconnect the batteries so I can charge them 12 volt as I don't have a 24V charger.

Repaired the broken wires on the fuel cutoff solenoid, primed the fuel system until I got fuel but it was kind of dirty. With a small ether shot I got it started (38 degrees F) & it ran for about 30-45 seconds & then spooled down slowly & died. Out of fuel? I think so. Wanted to blow some...

Yes, I shoot it in that big plug hole up on top of the elbow, just up from the factory cold start injection point. I can't do it while cranking, was by myself climbing up & down doing the 5-ton boogie.

Ok, I read the cold start procedure & yes, I did everything you can do with no ether bottle. I did not use much ether at all on either truck & shot it in the big 3/4" pipe plug just above the ether injection port on the intake manifold.

I am pretty sure I have winter-grade fuel in them as I refueled them here in north Kansas about 2 weeks ago at a truck stop that sells a lot of diesel fuel. How can you tell if the diesel fuel is winter grade? (It doesn't gel? LOL) Yeah, I've heard of guys building small fires under WW2...

I just got the trucks up from Texas not long ago & haven't had a chance to PMCS them yet. I drain the air tanks religiously after every run. Cold start system? Do you mean the ether system installed from the factory? I do not have any ether cans for them yet so no, I did not. Yes, my...

Ok, it is something like 20 degrees outside & my two M931's are giving me ****. I cranked both trucks over & got fairly heavy white smoke out of the exhaust stack. The fuel is burning just not lighting off. I hit truck #1 with ether & it fired right up. Idled rough for a bit but smoothed...
