    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Good thought, I just double checked them. They look in the clear. I was having this issue before replacing the tank and lines. I (rightly so) assumed the tank was gunked up and the sock was plugged.

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    I have taken the cap completely off, and it still does the same thing. Filler neck is completely open to the tank and atmosphere. The tank is not getting a vacuum on it. I did use my AC vacuum pump, a piece of plexiglass, and a hose and the cap vent does vent under vaccum. I know how hard the...

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    If I open the filter bleed and the pressure equilizes, and crack fuel lines, it will fire back up and run the same. Fuel pump doesn't have many miles on it but was replaced the last time I was trying to solve this issue. I didn't know there were two pumps that fit, but I was pretty sure I had...

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Ok, I'm pulling my hair out. Just did tons of work to correct this issue, yet it still occurs I can let the truck idle and it dies after about 5 min. I can drive it and it dies after .25 miles. Open the bleeder screw on the replacement filter housing, or open the filter drain, and it sucks in...

    My deuce caught on fire

    First off,, glad you are ok, and that you were ready for something like that. It should serve as a reminder for us all to have an extinguisher, know how to use it, and check it regularly. I can't remember the sizes off hand, but there are common metric oil pan drain plugs that cap off the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Had lots of fuel issues, so parked the truck a couple years ago as I didn't have time or funds to deal with it. Got back to it last week, dropped the tank, full of rust and water... new tank, new pickup tube, new filter. Also the glow plugs were shot, so I replaced them and the relay as well...

    Deuce brake mystery

    Unplug it, and plug it back in. Still doesn't work? Hit it with a hammer. Still no joy? You obviously need a bigger hammer...

    Definitely an airpack issue. They do make rebuild kits.

    I would also like to thank @Aurora for picking up my railroad auction wins and bringing them to me at Findlay. EMD and I are still southbound but miss everyone already.

    I have a tire on a rim holds air if you are just looking for a spare. Pretty old and worn though.
