There was no alpine diesel available in Traralgon (last fuel stop before Licola) and we didn't realise we would have needed it yet as it is only early June! Ironically we filled up with alpine mix at Myrtleford for the trip back to Melbourne!

Interesting on the trip both of the CRD vehicles (my GU Patrol and a late model hilux) had similar fuel starvation issues associated with the colder weather, whilst the older mechanical injected 105 and 80 series cruisers didn't have any issues. We put it down to the finer tolerances and higher PSI that the fuel is at for CRD vehicles...

To get the GU started all that was required was to re-prime the fuel filter and we were away. The hilux needed a bit of hand priming in combination with hot water over the fuel filters to get it moving.
