well on the WMO does filtering it thru a pre-filter then thru a fuel filter off of some random vehichle (autozone inline filter) good enough for the filtering part. plus some power service

 

I have been adding my used oil to the fuel, in a ratio of one-to-twenty, for many years, with no issues whatsoever.

I stop doing it in about mid-October and start back about May.

I have, so far, never had a filter problem due to the used oil.

If it will clog the fuel-filter, how is it going to get through the engine-oil filter ??

I always strain through a paint-filter, then run it through an old Mr-Coffee filter-holder with a fresh coffee filter.

It takes about twenty-four hours for a gallon of used oil to pass through the coffee-filter.

 

Fuel shut off solenoid could still be the problem. You can remove it then take out the plunger and spring and try to start it. If that works you are now a member of the pull cable crew.

I keep a spare solenoid in the truck, you can cross reference the P/N to the bosch number and order it from rockauto.com for 45.00, I had a coupon from them for free shipping. I thought that was the best price I could find!

 

The only time that happened to me it was a bad lift pump. As I recall, it was about the same crappy 2 degrees with wind, like now!... not the best to start walking but some guy took pity on me and gave me a ride the rest of the way.

 

I guess it's pull cable time . . .took out solenoid, pumped primer handle . . fuel flowed freely. Tried to start truck, batt was to dead from messing with things . . did have it firing tho.

 

i wish i knew how to do graphics i would build with help a nice diagnosis tree that anyone could follow and let folks print it out and carry in there rig. i could see part numbers and suggestions on how to do a road side repair. hmmmm
