I don't have gelling problems in 20 degree weather. It is low teens and below where the problem surfaces. I replaced both fuel filters and it still happens. Screen? Do you mean in the tank? Dimitri

In a lab you might be able to detect a repeatable fraction of a degree variation. At 20-25 degrees F, the regular #2 should be ok too. Are you sure there is not a plugged screen, plugged vent, plugged fuel filter or similar problem? Air leaking into the lines can wreak havoc too.

The 73 220D which I'm in the process of restoring rarely had gelling issues. It's basically the same engine so I don't know why that is. I actually used to use B100 in that car and in cold - around 20-25 degrees F the biodiesel would turn to a slurry and miraculously the car would actually run! > Dimitri > Loren Faeth _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
