Hi All, I'm new to the forum, I bought my first skid steer last summer 2005 CAT 252B with just under 1800 hours. I ran it briefly in sub zero temp (warmed it up for 20-30 min) and it seemed to loose power and then shut down under load. I assumed the diesel gelled so I bought some Diesel 911 and followed the directions. I got it started and it ran rough for a while and it shut down again, I replaced the fuel filter and now it turns over but wont fire (no smoke) I think its air locked. I bled the lines going from the pump to the injector and read something about bleeding the injector lines going into the engine so tried that but no flow through the lines with the pump running. Any ideas?

Could the additive not have gotten to all the fuel? there are multiple points that it could have geled in the lines.
Are you getting fuel out just before the pump?
