First CUCV

Well.... Then i pulled the fuel inlet hose to the filter and cranked the engine, bone dry. I know there is fuel in the tank, i dumped 5 gallons in myself and the gauge is showing 3/4. I assume this means my lift pump is either not receiving fuel, or bad.

It cranks--- GREAT!
Question; Did you remove the fuel cap first before cranking? It's all there in the TM's!

If you did then BINGO-- your fuel-starved for some reason or another. Now before you go buying a new fuel pump, take your fuel line loose at the FP under the rt-side engine block and see what's what... try siphoning. Still no fuel? Maybe there's a kinked fuel line to go with yer' bent drive shaft! (bad joke)

Anyway, a thourogh inspection of the fuel delivery system would be my next move... GUH-LUCK!

I did remove the fuel cap, i have not disconnect the fuel line yet at the fuel pump, I work 24 hours tomorrow but I'll try that Monday morning, i'm tempted to just add an electric fuel pump anyway, they are cheap enough insurance.

I have been working feverishly on this truck. After my oil change saga I hooked up an electric fuel pump today. I have a stream of fuel at the filter now, but it is somewhat broken. I'm concerned I am getting air in the lines. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to tighten all my connections and crank it over again.
