Okay, I thought I might have lost my shower head...except I poured another five gallons in my tank and my truck is still not starting. I cranked it until the batteries almost died (in twenty second intervals), and when I press the schrader valve, air only comes out.
I know the truck is long, hence the system needs a longer time to prime, BUT is this possibly a sign of a bad lift pump? I smelled my oil, but it does not smell like Diesel. The last time I got the truck started, I was able to rev it up and such, so I am not sure what is going on. When the truck was running, I got some fuel out of the schrader valve, but it was low pressure if I recall.
It is pouring outside, so I could not get to changing the return line caps. The lines to the injectors that I could get to were snug, and I tried to get to the fuel inlet line of the injection pump, but I could only get a little grip on it, so I can not guarentee it totally tight.
Am I getting ahead of myself, or could this be a bad lift pump?
Thanks!
