COLD blooded 7.3
2001 7.3
I run biodiesel off and on during the summers, usually about B60 by the time I get home (no B99 source locally.) Cut that to B30 or so as the weather cools, then run petro all winter. Last fall it began stalling out on cold mornings - starts OK but then starves out a few times on the way downtown. Changed the fuel filter and the stalling dropped way back -- or so I thought. Once winter hit, it became nearly impossible to keep running - requiring half a dozen restarts before the beast would warm up. Plugging it in for a couple hours on a relatively warm morning helps a lot. Fuel filter still clean.
Any suggestions? Is there a tank screen that might be gunked up?
thanks~
