Update, problem solved. It was indeed my filters. I changed both of them in a J parking lot this afternoon. Messy job to do on the road. I had to borrow a strap wrench. I strongly recommend any new O/O's keep a strap wrench in your tool box and a gallon jug or 1 gallon gas can somewhere. You can bungee one of these about anywhere under the truck. I've been keeping them on my personal truck for years. Never leave home without: nitrile gloves spare filters strap wrench gallon jug or can I'm going to add a collapsible bucket too for oil, coolant or fuel spills, hose fixes, etc. These fluids are getting too expensive to dump on the ground.
Hi guys. I think I have this same issue on my Volvo VNL 670. After the fuel gelled 3 weeks ago and we changed the filters to another brand, the truck a week later started to act out. Just within the last week it turns on fine but after a few miles the "Change Fuel Filters" message appears and then the truck dies. Battery's are brand new. It has an electric prime machine so I can not prime manually. I have gone through 3 different sets of filters and the issue still happens. Any advice? I am going back to the old brand I had before the issues occurred, hoping that helps. Only codes that showed up on the mechanics side were a bad EGR value failed automatic, self calibration procedure, and Safety Restraint System. Mechanic doesn't think any of those codes are the issue. Thanks in advance.

I'd start a new thread on your issue. Also, I only use Volvo fuel filters or Baldwin from the dealership. My dealer sells them to me as cheap as I can find online. Is your mechanic a Volvo dealer or independent?
