I had the same problem in my 1997 powerstroke. Fueled jueled up, added diesel and let it sit in the sun...so how cold is it there?

x4 or 5 on the above i would drop a bottle of deisel 911 in the tank it unfreezes the fuel lines and keeps the fuel from gelling. one bottle will treat a whole tank full

wash out the filters and add 1/5 petrol/gasoline to your tank. wmo is troublesome so you should anticipate "wahing out" (frequently) as par for the course. do this and I promise ya it will fire right up. (assuming the IN TANK pump is running) so try bleeding the filters to check flow. don't forget the first filter. good luck..and happy xmass and happy truckin!

it has in the 20s at night and upper 30s in the day. the in tank pump is running and pumping some fuel when i crack the bleeder on top of the filters, it is prolly a 60/40 mix more oil than deisel i've put a bottle of power service in the tank and that hasnt helped anything , hadn't had a chance to check filters yet. i'm thinking i need to just drain the tank and start over with just deisel

I bet primary is clogged check that before dumping the tank.

My truck did the same thing last month. I was running 70% wmo and 30% diesel. The temperature was around 35 degrees. The plunger in my IP head seized. I believe it was due to the viscosity of my fuel being to thick. I don't think it was thin enough to lubricate the plunger. Started right up after I replaced the injection pump. Remove the bolt on the center of the head and turn the engine over and see if you have fuel there. If not, this may have happened to you.

 

[peewee21]

if the plunger is stuck is there any way to free it up with out replacing the pump

 

[pjpiche1]

No, if it is stuck, it is damaged. Mine actually galled to the IP head. You do not have to replace the whole pump. Just the head. I had to replace my entire pump because, I beat the bottom of the plunger off trying to start it and ran shrapnel throughout my entire pump.

was able to drain some oil out of the tank today and a little more deisel and finally got it fired up and is running fine

That is great news! I wish I had been that lucky!
