Einleitung

Trucks that are left in freezing weather can experience diesel gelling which causes the vehicle to not turn on. This repair will help as a guide to melt the gelled diesel back to a liquid and help the truck start properly. The vehicle that is used in this guide will be a 2008 Ford-250 truck, but the same concepts apply to all diesel vehicles.

    • Use an extension cord and plug it into the engine block heater which is located on the front bumper of the truck.

    • This process is used to help heat the truck.

    • Be sure to follow all of the instructions printed on your Gelled Diesel Additive.

    • Pour 16 ounces of Gelled Diesel Additive to every 20 gallons of fuel directly into the tank using the funnel as shown.

    • Pour a quarter of a tank worth of diesel into the tank.

    • More diesel in the tank gives you a greater chance of the truck starting in the freezing weather.

    • Wait an hour for the Gelled Diesel Additive to activate. Then go inside the truck and try starting it by putting the key into the ignition.

    • After starting the truck, move the vehicle into a garage where there is a greater chance of warmth.

    • Plug in your heat lamp and place the lamp under the truck, as this will also help heat the vehicle.

    • The heat lamp greatly increases the chance of the gelled diesel melting quicker.

Abschluss

Try to start your truck! If your vehicle still won’t start, try these steps again!
