Fuel lines frozen in my truck. Started and ran for a minute then died. 2020 F250 diesel. Answers the question of if they use winter blend around here.

try it again, it will start but it will shudder a bit and make some odd noises until it warms up some.

Tried cycling the ignition a few times to prime it and no luck. Guess I'll wait it out cause with my luck ford will find a way to decline warranty.

With the rolling blackouts, the gas pumps aren't working in a lot of places so hope you filled up already.

Filled up this past Thursday and tank is full. Planned that part just not the frozen part. Never had this happen with my '13 Power Stroke but then again it never for to 1 frigging degree when I owned it.

Just went out and tried my 01 Dodge....fired up OK. I do keep the engine block heater plugged in so that helped. Filled up last week and added some anti-gel just to be safe.

Put a half tank of no ethanol in and some Seafoam yesterday. Should be good.

Can't find any anti gel. Stores are all out except for Sea Foam and it is going quickly.

I took my oldie but goodie out and she sparked right up and got me to Home Depot. Lost all fuel pressure on the way home and realized my diesel probably gelled and clogged my fuel filters. Sat and contemplated my options for 15 minutes safely off the side of the road. opened the hood to see if I had a leak by chance and turned my key on - I could see fuel pressure slowly build. So I waited till it got to 65 and started it back up and got another 500 yds till the pressure dropped. Stopped and did this about 5 times till I got home. Ran to Oreillys in my wife's car and threw 3 bottles of sea foam in it and ran it around the neighborhood. Just got back from a 40 minute round trip and she runs just fine. This is an 01, 7.3.

Went to WalMart just now and their closed. Tried O'Rileys right up the street and they are out of everthing Diesel fuel related. Came home and plugged in engine block heater for now, not running all over town with all the idiots on the roads.
