Well, I got my stuck B100 benz towed home, where it will sit in a heated garage overnight. Tow truck driver had the exact same thing happen to him in the middle of nowhere Montana. His solution? Fill a hubcap up with charcoal briquets, get it going & put it under the fuel tank!
I noticed that when I began to siphon the B100 out (so I can put in Diesel and lower the biodiesel ratio), there were what looked like ice crystals flowing through the tube...or at least visible solidified biodiesel. I put a space heater under the tank, and now after 30 minutes, the tube is running clear.
Lesson learned.
