Sept 07. Not started since, kept battery charged all the time. Went to start it today 1 20 08. After glow plug lite went out turned key to start, started run for a few seconds and stopped. Will not start now. Turns over good, glow plugs clicking on and off. Could fuel have geled? It is now 10 degrees F. If fuel is geled would a little gas desolve the gel. Has been below freezing for a week or more here. Mario 3

Do NOT put gasoline in your fuel! Bad idea with a diesel engine. Ether (starting fluid) is also equally bad. If you suspect freezing, crack an injector line and see if fuel comes out when cranking, you may also have an air bubble in it too if a fuel l ine aged and cracked while it sat.
