I did change the cylindrical filter on top of the engine during that incident, I also had the thought that with the night time temp starting to go down, the fuel blend mightve been too thick to make it through the system without a problem. Ive just started the truck now and let it run and it started up without even using the glow plugsand stayed running on the fuel blend, granted its probably in the high 60s-low 70s outside and sunny. Truck doesnt even show sign of wanting to stall out. I was thinking about possibly replacing the stock filter housing with one of the heated filters used for normal straight oil conversions to at least heat the fuel blend to a higher temp before it hits the injector system. As far as the fuel blend, nope its not a typo, I did read of another person that runs that particular blend in a cummins diesel, so being "adventurous" as I am I had to try it out and see what happens. Im not sure if that 50/50 stuff may have been a better bet instead, at least until I get some extra hardware in place.
