I have a can of the diesel purge but i think that the car has to be running to use it any ideas on what to do to get this baby to crank  |
Did you fill the new filter with diesel, before you installed it?
Does the diesel engine crank faster than a gasoline engine?
Do the interior lights get dim during the glow plug cycle?
Do you have a fifty amp or heavier battery charger?
Note:
You may use diesel purge to fill the fuel filters.
