Got home from work to find my diesel skid steer gelled up and won't start. GRRR!!!

I dumped some power service 911 in her, have a tarp over her and a space heater under her. If I get her running she'll be in the garage. Oh the joys of living in the country.

At lease my CTD didn't gel up. I guess I'd better get some anti-gel for all the diesel burners. I think I'll leave the Mack run until I get some.

 

YUCK!!!! I'm gonna get some for my truck today just to be safe.

 

Diesel is diesel. Better get an engine heater on that dude also.

 

keep the space heater on it and change the fuel filters and if its real bad blow out the lines

 

Ohhh... It must be going down to 40° where your at eh?

It was 9° here last night... glad my baby sits in the garage!

 

hmm , ya'll seem scared of the cold! It was -15 here this morning , and i haven't plugged my truck in yet, And whats this anti gel you speak of?

 

Only problem is... I have to raise the boom to get to the filters, and I need to get it running to raise the boom. Kinda' one of those catch 22's.

I guess I'll have to wait until this weekend, it's going to get up in the 40's so everything should thaw out. I took the Mack into town so at least I'll be able to get to work in the Dodge. (4X4 )

 

It was -14 in Des Moines IA last night when I was dropping and hooking trailers. BRRRR!! I felt sorry for the guys on the dock.

I could have sworn our weather people were forecasting a mild winter around these parts.

 

one of these years you will remember to park it with the boom up....... looks funny, impossible to tow if it will not start but you can get at everything...... I have a few that give me fits,
