Re: Conical Peak (Matroosberg)
Russ, what was the ambient temp? As a matter of interest, does the 4.2D have a diesel warming system?
In my Bethlehem days we often had to contend with "gell" formed diesel and "puff puff" bakkie as a result of ambiet temperatures well below zero. We installed diesel warming gadgets in all our vehicles and farm equipment.
