northern tools has diesel starton on the shelf.

dump a bottle in the tank, let it sit for a day, then drive around with the lines reversed.

and NEVER park the car with less than a full tank for more than a day...
Understood. I didn't know that in all the years I've owned this car and read this forum, so that's good to know. I'll definitely be keeping the tank full from now on. I got the 8oz bottle on order as we speak and I'm going to add that to the tank and do the hose swap and drive thing. Hopefully this takes care of the situation
