Hello all.
this morning on my way to work my car was running fine or like 10 min and then it started to sputter once in a while losing power. all my gauges(oil PSI,oil temp, water temp) where all fine. could it be maybe i got a little water in diesel some how. i think i will pick up some diesel conditioner after work and fill her all the way up that should hopefully fix her. i did make it to work just.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like water or jelling. Try the conditioner and fill the tank and then see what happens.

Also a good idea to drain your filter and, if you have one (can't remember when they discontinued them) your water seperator.
Then add the conditioner.
Then add the conditioner.
