The fuel line where it runs under the cab is rubber tubing and a mechanic suggested any low spot will act like a water trap and its in that line that froze up yesterday. I know this because between the fuel shut off at the tank and lift pump I had no flow. It wouldnt let go with a blow gun on the air compressor hose when i tried either.I put about a quart of freeze protecting fuel conditioner in this fall when I replaced the fuel filters. Yesterday I also added another quart of methyl hydrate and 1/4 of a quart of 2 cycle engine mixing oil. After it warmed up it did let go; I blew air into the tank for several 10 second intervals through the line that was froze from the lift pump end hoping it might help blow the water back into the tank so itd mix with the methyl hydrate. After I got a flow going again I reattached the fuel line to the lift pump, bled it out and got it running. My questions are would the air nozzle actually blow the water back into the tank and do I have enough methyl hydrate and conditioner already to keep it from gelling up again this winter? Tks

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
