Takes quite a bit to freeze gasoline, unless it's a diesel.

I think I might have gotten some "bad" gas at a little out-of-the-way country store. Might have had some water in it.

 

ETA: The diesel tractor I used to jump the van started right up.

Shawni now have heat in my Jeep I have been told! Tons of crap in the hose and guy also changed a small hose that make all my vents work!

There really shouldn't be any "crap" in your hoses unless someone put something in there they weren't supposed to, like stop-leak.

I am not sure what the guy did honestly because I was not there. Hubby said rust and junk so I assumed it was from water pump

If the water pump failed before scheduled maintenance, or lacked timely replacement, it would leak through the weep holes. If a mechanic saw this leak and didn't properly do the repair, he may have used stop-leak instead and caused the clog.

Glad you have heat again, but keep an eye on the cooling system, engine temps, and of course, heater operation on that car from now on.

Here's a step by step for backwash:

Shut the system off. This should be the case when working with any type of pool equipment.

Unwind your backwash hose, making sure it is tightly clamped to the water outlet.

Once the hose is laid down, return to your equipment and find your backwash valve. Most systems have a “Push-Pull” handle. When the handle is in either position, the water will either flow normally through your equipment or flow out of your backwash hose. Labels on your backwash valve will typically have information on which position your valve needs to be in for backwashing. If there are no stickers, look in product documentation.

Note – Some systems have multi-port valves instead of “push-pull” valves. Instructions on how to set the valve up for backwashing can either be found on the valve itself or in product documentation.

With the system still off, move the backwash valve handle into the backwashing position and lock the handle in place.

With the handle locked in the backwash position, turn on your system. You should begin to quickly see water flowing through the backwash hose.

Continue backwashing for around 3 minutes or until the water appears clear. When looking at the water flowing out of the hose, you may notice it looking dirty. This is the dirt and debris being removed from the sand in the filter.

Turn off the system to stop backwashing.

Roll up the hose, removing excess water that is left from backwashing.

Return the backwash valve handle to its normal position that allows water to flow through your system and lock it in place.

Turn the system on and open up the air relief valve at the top of your filter. Leave this open until water is consistently being released, then close the valve.

Shut off the system.

Let me know if you need anything further. Glad I could help!

Where did you get that Biz?

Same filter backwash technique I use. Though I don't shutdown after backwash, I let filter continue to run for several hours

You would be the last person that I would think was mechnicaly inclined, never thought you drove. Uh

I'm talking about an inground pool.

Secondly, I've driven since I was 16 years old. No sidewalks where I grew up, you need to drive everywhere.
