Ford: 2003 F250 diesel engine not starting, diesel truck, diesel engine


Question
I have a 2003 F250 diesel truck. I know I got bad diesel a few days ago and since then the truck would die on me while at a red light and now it won't start. I know everything about a gas engine but not much about a diesel. I have drianed some diesel from side of frame but not helping. I need to check the fuel filter but don't know where it is. Is there anything I can do before I have to take it to a shop.  

Answer
Richard,

The fuel filter should be located on the frame rail, I think (not positive) it is on the driver's side. They do make a dry gas for diesel. I would recommend that you try that. Sorry that I can not be of more help. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Good luck.
