Franco,

You said it did start but it quickly died after it started.

I have seen fuel problems (Diesel can gel if it gets cold enough) when this happens, fuel can SLOWLY make it through the filter

However once the engine starts the fuel that is past the filter is quickly exhausted and fuel can not pass the filter fast enough to replenish the engine.

One solution is to warm the fuel, best way is to warm the engine by running the gen-set IF, that is, if it does not do the same thing.

If the gen-set does the same exact thing, Then fuel issues are all but diagnosed and chemical treatment is indicated.

Hopefully this makes sence considering I confuse myself sometimes,

Sean
