When I change my filters I always fill comepletly with howes or lucas have used power service but I never put diesel in them the additive actually cleans the injectors doing this.
On the old detroits we filled them with atf made restarting them a lot easier.

Better get some fuel treatment in the fuel and through lines before the temp drops again.

When the wax blocks fuel lines, 20 fuel pumps won't help.


And since I forgot when I posted before,
