    RE: Re: RE: FUEL GELLING IN THE COLD?? Been meaning to thank you all for the advice on testing the glowplugs - I have always hated electricity - bodywork is my forte.

    You know - I am mostly still suspicious of the fuel...see I left Saturday morning, and the weather was cold - and she started w/no problems...then I drove it til she was low on gas and filled up at the Meijers station in Plainwell (W-MI) and it hasn't been right since. I've heard that other...

    Okay - I'm back, thankfully with good news!!! It is really really cold out there...and snowing again - oh wait that's the bad news!) The good news is that the 110k BTU kerosene heater in the engine compartment + the tarp + a car hooked to one battery + a battery charger hooked to the other +...
