    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Just pulled the check valve, seems clear and operating in each direction properly. New lift pump, same issue. Going to hook up a Jerry can tomorrow night. (Fill it on my way home from work)

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    I can try the fuel can method, and like you said, remove as much out of the equation as possible. The new lift pump is supposed to arrive Thursday. I'll be in NC working on trains this weekend so it will be next week for the pump. I might rig a hose and jerry can this evening.

    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

    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...
