      Solved the “diesel bug” by purging the fuel system, disassembling and cleaning the fuel injector assembly, replacing all filters, the sediment bowl, and removing the fuel tank and having it hot washed at a radiator shop.  Now use a fuel additive to kill the little creatures.

        To check for a blown head gasket, try cranking the engine with the radiator full and the cap off.  Look for bubbles coming out while you are cranking.  If you see bubbles you may have a blown head gasket.

        Make sure the coolant is not hot when you remove the cap.   Take normal safety precautions.  Do not know whether or not you need to remove the thermostat to conduct this test.
