I wouldn't have thought the hot water would have done much, that's a lot of metal to warm. Or did you pour it over the fuel filter?

What you didn't see of course, was the attempt to pull off on a couple of gallons of ICE... :lol:

Did you say 60 ltrs of Veg and 10 ltrs of Petrol? If so and it still wont start you got a problem. Should only be on 10% Petrol.
The hot water will certainly help if the veg is so thick and jelled in the IP/Injectors, but I think you have a glowplug problem and they need changing.

Its -2 at mine, and I use 10% Petrol and mine starts first turn of the key as I've just had my glowplugs changed.

If the glowplugs are knackered, then I doubt its much use. However when using Veg if the Veg has gone like jelly, pouring boiling water over the fuel lines/filter should dissolve it and make it more thinner so engine starts.
