All, Have been reading lots of helpful threads here and now in need of some help/suggestions of my own. Little back ground.. Purchased a 86 F250 6.9 extended cab for my son got an ok deal on it since it would not start when we bought it and after reading all the threads here I figured I would get it and figure it out. Got it running a few months back but was getting compression in the radiator so I assumed it to have a blown head gasket. We pulled motor replace Head gaskets and put ARP head studs degreased everything and put on a fresh coat of paint. Have the motor back in the truck and just got new BB injectors form Conestoga diesel that have been pre tested. I also updated to a electric duralift pump. So here is the issue the fuel gauge on the truck says 1/8 of a tank but I get no fuel flow out of the pump looks like it surging. So I went an got a 1 gallon of diesel hooked it to the new lift pump and with a mist of starter fluid the truck starts up and runs shut it down and started back up 2-3 minutes later and fires right up. So I put gallon of diesel in the tank and I get the surging issue again. Could it be just that low on fuel in the tank or possible pickup messed up?? Any help or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
