Default Engine Problems Help needed!!

The ram dealership accused me of pouring anti-freeze into my 2015 Eco diesel ram 1500 fuel tank when I took it in because the engine won't start.

If there is indeed antifreeze in your fuel lines, some one poured it into the tank. Live in a bad neighborhood? Pissed off co-worker/gf/ex perhaps?

It's pretty easy to tell if anti-freeze is mixed with diesel fuel so I'd imagine someone doesn't like you.

Problem is, since you've tried to start the truck it's already hit the injectors. Even if they do a simple drop, drain and flush you're gonna have major problems in a fairly short period of time.

Was a guy put DEF in his Cummins fuel tank by mistake - claims he caught his blunder after only adding about 12 oz. - cost him $11,000...
