Got the report on the non-starting diesel Jetta. It seems that technically there was nothing wrong with anything. This person travels for a living and apparently had summer fuel still in the tank as this very cold day was the first chance in many to drive this car. Not the cars fault, nor the fuel provider just didn't realize that between seasons you can't use the same fuel and "normally" there is refueling taking place on a constant basis. Not knowing this because of the gasoline powered car she had in the past she never knew she had two different diesel fuels to work with. No-one was wrong, just not informed. The old farmer I lived by when I was a kid always said he threw a half a gallon of gas in his diesel fuel tank in his tractor to help cold starting has some merit. Not scientific but it worked, yes primitive but it worked. And jeez; I never asked the farmer where he came up with this information or if it was documented somewhere. All he knew was it worked for him. But if I would have, most likely he would have told me he heard somebody tryed it. When I get information on something in the future I'll document it if you all need that.

P. S. I was a "kid" a very long time ago, I'm 52
