2019 6.7 shut down issue

I’ve got a 2019 F250 w/6.7 that I bought in August and just turned over 2k mi.
So it sets quite a bit, but runs some at least once a week.
I went out yesterday afternoon for a road trip and 3 times in a row, the truck started, ran for about 1 second and shut down.
On the last attempt I bumped the throttle a tick during that 1 second and it stayed running. Started it several more times during the trip and drove it again this evening with no starting issues.
I had about 1/4 tank of fuel that had the Ford antigel in it, but that that tank of fuel was probably 5 or 6 weeks old.
I did refill last night.

Anyone have this happen, or have an idea what the issue may have been?
The truck has started and ran flawlessly up until, and after that single event.

Check battery connections. Moisture somewhere from sitting ? That’s really not old diesel.

Outside temp was like 50 deg. Kinda high moisture in the pole barn it sits in because it had worked up to 50 here in Indiana for 2 days straight after being in the 30’s.

Maybe the fuel system lost its prime? Next time it sits for a while, prime the fuel system, key on engine off a few times. What you would do after changing fuel filters or draining the water seperator.

I would make sure the fuel tank is always kept full. 1/4 tank leaves lots of room for condensation.

Probably unrelated but a friend of mine had a 1994 Ranger with a V6, new at the time, that did the same when starting in cold weather. By cold I mean near zero F. It would rev up to about 2500 RPM, then immediately shut down. Some mornings he had to start it 5 or 6 times before it would idle. The dealer couldn't seem to do anything about it but it was a small podunk town. He went bankrupt a few months later and the bank took the truck, so the problem was solved that way. (That's a poor solution in my judgment). But the point is that no one could seem to figure it out.

Now there are more advanced diagnostic tools and I think that was before OBDII. That's not right, and if experience is any kind of a guide, it will happen again. Think I'd report it to the dealer so that at least it's on record. It should still be under warranty.
