Oh, it was not all at the same time. There were a number of trips in
to deal with a multitude of leaks. We thought we had traced and
killed the trouble each time, but gremlins were at work and like a
dutch dike, once you plug one hole, another sprouted. Finally got
them all tracked and slain. Trouble was that each time you engaged
the same process to tear it down and shop time rung up.

and 617 aren't that much different. Never gelled, at all.
You got raped, if they charged you $1800 to replace a bunch of 20
cent
o-rings in the IP, and a few feet of hose. If that ever comes up
again,
I'll do the job for $1745 tops.

But Casey, you are running a newer model than Gump. Her fuel just
gels right up and will not flow at temps below 37*F. All that old
glow plug system does is slightly warm the pre-chamber and then the
fuel gets stuck in the filters or oozes through the lines under the
car. Eight feet of thin, uninsulated tin pipe sucks calories
right out.
The ED on the other hand has no major issue with the fuel, other than
having it eat all the rubber bits to the tune of $1800 for replacing
IP seals and fuel hoses over a six month period. Now SWMBA will only
run at B50 or less

I've never had any trouble running B99 during the deepest Winter

Advise that you do no more than B50 once it gets below 40* F,
but the
#2 is cut with solvents to allow it to flow at lower temps from
October to April in the lower PS. Upper elevations may continue to
use thinned fuel until late May if using the mountain passes.
