Just joined to ask this question-

About a week and a half ago my car stalled while driving in single digit temperatures (F). I had it towed and the mechanic got to it two days later. He said it started right up. This past weekend I put some Diesel Supplement in the tank and had the car stall again while driving (also single digit temperatures F). Now the car has been sitting for a while, temperatures are warmer and it still won't start, but it does crank strong.

I'm was on the same tank of gas for both problems and I think the diesel I got wasn't treated for the temperatures we got. When I tried to top off the tank I couldn't because plows had bought all the diesel!

Everywhere around here is sold out of Diesel 911 but I ordered a bottle from Amazon and I'm waiting for delivery.

So do you all think this is just a gelling issue or something more? Is there anything else I can check?

I'd try replacing the fuel filter. It may be waxed up.
