So, I guess I have some sort of gremlin living in my fuel system. A couple weeks ago it lost power and the engine slowed until it barely ran. I discovered that my fuel filter was clogged up with nasty sludge from my fuel tank. So I drained the tank, changed the filter, and added new fuel with biocide and anti gel additive. All was well for a couple weeks and now it is doing the same thing. It will lose power and run terrible until it eventually dies. I can usually start it up in a few min and it will run okay for a few min and do the same thing again. The glass bowl under the fuel filter has some sludge in it but its not full of it. I figured I would change the fuel filter again (cheap insurance) and see how it's runs. Is there any way to clean out the injection pump without disassembly? Should I just run some sort of fancy fuel system cleaner? What would be the next step in this process? It was -15 this morning, but I am using winter blend fuel and an anti gel additive and the coolant heater is plugged in... So I doubt it is gelled up.
