Ok had this problem and must pass it on.
If you have a psd and are in a sustained cold climate for several days never let the fuel tank get below 1/4.
What happened to me was that it was a needles width below the 1/4. The fuel will start gelling on the pump pick up.
If left above the 1/4 mark the pump has a bypass and no problems will occour.
If below 1/4 the fuel gels and the engine will not run long. It will start rough and get exremely woarse and die. You will think the engine is coming apart.
It does not matter if yiu leave the heater pugged in either, since it only heats the coolant.
If this occours you can over come the problem by adding 10 gals of fresh diesel
My problem occoured in Oklahoma when on a short trip. The temp was 14 F for several days. I would guess the a.m. tep was around 8-10 F. These temps dont inclued wind chill!
Anyway wanted to pass on so others wouldnt go through this pain!
