Maybe the fuel bowl heater is needed?

I believe the white bottle of Diesel Kleen has anti-gel, not the other one. Did you use white?
Yeah, I use the white bottle, but after reading white buffalo's links on gelling, I think I may not have got it in there before the damage was done.
The Walbro pump is not engineered for diesel and is not manufactured at the quality level of the stocker. Okay, good to know. I'll be replacing it and the fuel bowl heater.
A whining pump is a good clue, it could be a pickup issue, a pump issue, or a gelled fuel issue. I installed a fuel pressure pump for days like this, and it was a total eye-opener the very day I installed it. I had to re-design my fuel supply mods.

Guys, you are forgetting one import thing here that is the fuel tank pickup rubber foot, it might be disintegrated into pieces and a piece might be getting sucked up, starving the pump.That's why he losing power as he's driving after starting the demand on the engine is not alot, after he starts driving the pieces at the bottom of the tank are moving around and. Question here is can you run the tank to almost empty. You might have to drop the Tank.
The white bottle is Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement. The grey bottle is Power Service Diesel Kleen.

No thanks. It's okay, I don't always read the whole thread either.

Well lucky for me I haven't needed a fuel pump YET and hadn't jumped on the Walbro bandwagon yet !! It is funny that a couple years ago guys were saying how great the Walbro was and how they had such good luck with them. And after a quick search here I see more and more guys having issues with them. So the test of time tells all. I think Rich hit it on the head when he said they weren't diesel rated.
