Diesel fuel as many may know turns to a jelly like substance down around 15 degrees... At that point it simply plugs up your fuel filter, and injectors... End result, is an unhappy engine that will not run...
Fuel stations, are supposed to "winterize" their diesel during cold months to prevent this... That generally means that Kerosene, or Gasoline is added to the Diesel, and life is ok...
Apparently my fuel station didn't get the memo...
It is currently 5 degrees outside...
I am currently back in my apartment, pissed off, and stranded untill my partner comes down here with a couple gallons of gasoline...
What a way to start the day...
