Not starting: just a click and nothing
So after I replaced the fuel lines I couldn't get her to fire on, but she at least wanted to try. She would turn over, now she doesn't even do that.
So I give up for the night, and it's 43 degrees outside at night. So in the morning I try again and know when I go to start it up, she just clicks once and thats it. The motor doesn't even want to turn over. I double checked all my fuel lines and I just have the biodiesel side hocked up so I'm only going off biodiesel. The biodiesel is ASTM and the cloud point is 32 degrees. So I know it's not that. It must be something I damaged last night attempting to start her up. This is my other post about the fuel lines. Not getting fuel after replaced fuel lines

Or possible battery problem, or connection

Weak battery or bad electrical connection (especially engine block to chassis ground). Put a battery charger on for a few hours or overnight, try again. Once you can get the engine to crank, you can work on the fuel problem (air in the new lines, etc.).

The car is in park, and the battery is fully charged. I went out and purchased a new battery charger, and charged the battery over night. I also attempted to start her up in "N". But didn't work. I'm hoping I didn't fry my starter.
