Jelled Up

Might have jelled up. What do you do to unjell and keep it from happening again? Can this happen when it is in the twentys?

Thanks

No. It would not start a few days ago. Tryed it today and it did start. I let it run for a minute and seemd fine but came back later and it would not start. Got no smoke when it would not start and the tach did not move while it was cranking.

Got one on the way but it will take a week to get here. But thats ok. It will give me time to get rid of the foot of snow my truck and driveway are under.

I could not get the blasted cap off when this first started so I could not take a look in the bowl like I wanted to but I did open the drain valve. Only a little fuel came out but when I cranked it a lot dumped out.
I ran the back tank dry before this happened. Right now I cant hear the selector valve when I switch tanks so that might have some thing to do with it. Unfortunately we got a foot of snow the day after this started so I am going to have to clean up the mess before I even get a chance to look into this. But thanks to you people I have a better idea of what to look at.

Thanks I will let you know how things go.

If you suspect that it's gelled get a bottle of 911 and wait a couple hours. That stuff does wonders. Put some diesel kleen in the bowl once we get the cap off. Shouldn't have any problems.

Yea light comes on just got the cap off and everything looks fine in the filter housing. Had my brother crank it while I was looking in it and fuel was pumping in. Checked for codes again and now I have two.... P1670-EF Feedback Signal Not Detected and PO 603 Keep Alive Error. Hope this has do with the worn down battery's. Got to go back to work so I wont be able to look at it till tonight. Please keep the ideas coming......

the KAM ERROR(keep alive memory) is from plugging you edge in. no big deal. never seen that other code. have you checked your HPOP rez? check that and put in your new CPS. i bet its the CPS. if the fuel is pumping in then the fuel is definitely not gelled up. you just have a little minor problem somewhere i'm thinkin'.

Instead of waiting on the CPS I ordered the other day I made the time to get one at a local parts shop. Stuck that sucker in and it started right up. Thank God that was it because I looked into the P1670 DTC and everything I found on line suggested IDM if you get that code. But with no tach movement I figured CPS.

Thanks All
