I agree, but, there are quite a few in the "Hot Rodding" forums for both Deuce and 5T. Might be tough to sort through them and migrate to a separate forum.
Unfortunately, it will never be worked, It does get moved from time to time, but nothing more than a trip or two around tank row or to and from the shop area.
Yes, Supply and return are re routed to the drivers side tank only. Pas side is drained, capped off and the cap tight. Also stenciled on the tank a warning to NOT use that tank.
Most of the time, it is the "squeeze and bang" that makes noise in a diesel. They are fired by compression and not spark. Listen to a Cummins ISB with the VP44 pump
Well, figured I would add to this. While the truck Isn't mine, I do get to play with it. Recent things, added a Racor fuel filter to strain the stuff from the tank, the passenger side is shut off. All other filters changed. Removed the FP and had it repaired due to the crap in the fuel tanks...
It's a Cat, 3208 engine. It was considered a "throw away" engine when it was released, as was the B when it was released. Parent bore block.....no liners. They are repairable if something happens cylinder wise. Lots of those were running around back in the day, My Dad and Grandfather were some...

If it starts and runs, it will bleed itself. No reason to bleed after it runs. It IS possible to introduce "air" into the system from a weak pintle spring. The compression overrides the pintle spring in the injector and lets compression INTO the fuel system. It will usually shut an engine off...
Or possibly a giant restriction. There is a filter located under the alternator, did that get changed. Also, the hard fuel line that runs from the tank, to the filter under the alt and across the front of the frame, has a tendency to get crushed. That can cause restriction issues. Also, ef you...
