Attention: TDR Forum Junkies This morning I started my truck and was letting it run to defrost my windows, and all was well until about 3 or so minutes into it, I heard a muffled clunk or 2, the engine revved about 1000 -2000 rpm and then it just died. I tried re-cranking to no avail. Temp around 28 or so, ice storm last night with about 1 inch of ice on everything.
Anyway later this morning after letting it sit a couple of hours and really the temp is only about 3 - 5 degrees warmer, (slightly above freezing) I got in and cranked and she fired right up. (I still haven't run it long enough to warm up but my fear about something expensive to fix is fading a bit) anyway my question is this: could this be a fuel gel problem?
Another piece to this is this truck was fueled on a tank of gas in early fall, (I am not running it because I am trying to sell it) and I am wondering if the grade would be summer and that would be the difference OR even the age of the fuel.
I sure would feel better knowing it was a gel problem I guess is what I am getting at.
