Default NEED ADVISE!! TRUCK WILL NOT START

My truck did will not start, yesterday morning it started for about 5 seconds and after that all it would do is turn. I plugged the block heater in all night. This morning iadded some diesel conditioner, still nothing.Sounds like the fuel is frozen.

Any idea's????

Well if it gelled, the anti-gel should help out. Did you check fuel pressure?

If it is gelled will the anti-gel agent work through the complete fuel line? I've never used it but I would think it will only work on the fuel it comes in contact with.

you will need to put some in the fuel filter if it did gell.

I would check lift pump pressure though.
