B2150 wont stay running

[kbrothers]

My son borrowed my B2150 to plow our church parking lot. He says it will start right up , but shuts right off As its been real cold 0 degrees and lower with wind chill I'm thinking fuel somehow Any help on what and where to start looking and how to trouble shoot appreciated Thanks Fuel is treated with anti gel

Did you add fuel stabilizer to your diesel? If not it may be gelling due to the cold.

Put some power source 911 in it.

Check the fuel for contamination, #1 being gasoline, #2 water in the tank freezing.

Mine did the same thing this weekend. I ended up siphoning all the diesel out of the tank. Pulled the fuel filter off. There was a 3/8" thick chunk of ice at the bottom of the bowl and quite a few crystals in the pleats. I cleaned it out filled 50/50 with diesel 911 and fuel then reinstalled. I strained the removed fuel before putting it back and caught the remaining ice that was in the tank. put it all back together and ran beautifully the rest of the weekend.
