    lift pump wearing out, leaking air?

    hello, has anyone had problems with the stock lift pump drawing air into the system? mine is only a few years old but has run lots of wvo/wmo so i wonder if that could cause it to wear out sooner than normal. anyway, after replacing all hoses and clamps and tightening them very well, i still...

    Rear fuel tank not working at all - and overflowing with fuel!

    thanks for the replies! just to clear one thing up - the reason the tank was overflowing was because i had just topped it off yesterday, pouring from diesel cans into the tank and i put too much in. i don't think the selector valve is returning fuel from the front tank to the rear but i could...

    Rear fuel tank not working at all - and overflowing with fuel!

    i have never had much luck with the rear tank of my 89 f250. for one thing, it has to be filled by hand because for some reason when i try to fill up at the pump, the pump keeps shutting off every few seconds unless it happens to be a very slow pump. much worse, however, is that it always seems...

    stuck pump plungers - fixable?

    yes, it does make that internal "clicking" noise. And, i think i am getting fuel out the return because i opened the top cover and it was full of fuel (previously the pump had beed drained & there was none in it when installed). i also checked the shutoff solenoid to confirm that it is...

    stuck pump plungers - fixable?

    i figured out it was the injection pump that prevented my truck from starting unless the block heater was plugged in - then it would start fairly easily and run fine. Kind of strange-sounding but that's the deal. anyway, i pulled the old pump off and send it in for rebuilding, and while i was...

    Turning up IP primary pressure?

    on mine, the timing lines are amost identically lined up. I put the pump on myself (over a year ago) and did not know how to time the pump so i just lined them up. So, the timing could very well be less-than-ideal. But, if that affects starting why would the problem have just occured within the...

    Turning up IP primary pressure?

    i had some extra glow plugs that i know were good so i disconnected the gp connector to the #2 gp (leaving the gp in there) and connected the extra one to the wire, and used a vice grip to ground it to the engine. i activated the gp's and after a few seconds i could see the gp get red hot. i...
