Default New experience for me today!

Small amount of fuel must have gelled in the Libby this morning. WTF? I live in Corpus Christi,TX, for cryin'out loud! A few pumps of the filter-priming button, and we were on our way.

For about 2miles. Pump some more and go some more. A pint of white-bottle stuff from Power Service and no more problems

This make me wondering a bit.
The Libby has the same fuel filter set up as mine.- That means a fuel heater. Check the fuel heater device for a blown fuse, please.
You also can check the drawn current if the heater is working. And the heater is a powerful device! Protected with a 20A or 30A fuse.

You shouldn't have any difficulties.

We have about up to 7% bio in the fuel by law in germany(preservation of diesel resources). Does not harm anything. How much do you have in it?

False alarm, guys. The next day, in daylight, it did it again. That time I observed fuel and bubbles where the filter meets its mount. 1/4-turn and all has been well
