TRUCK STALLED A FEW TIMES THIS MORNING

[Mulochico]

That loop is to allow for the motor moving in the mounts as it runs. Mine has it, had it before I replaced the lines so I put it back in with the new line. Could be just debris, etc got caught in there. Glad to here your running good so far!!!

I couldnt get it in there without it kinking, i think i have enough play in the line anyway. and it still stalled on me yesterday, so that's not it. ill probably replace the filters next. but this just moved to the back burner, as my furnace just crapped on me today.... i tell ya, when it rains, it pours.

i still think its air intrusion....i pushed the scrader valve in again after a good drive and there was still air coming out, and it took a good bit for fuel to come out.

i noticed on the return fuel line on top of the filter housing is not very tight, (i could pull it off with my fingers fairly easily) i ran out of new tiny little clamps when i replaced the return lines. im wondering if that could be it. ill replace it with a hose clamp after work

EDIT: if i can find something that small... man that clamp is tiny.

volume and pressure test from the schrader, if the truck starts fine, but stalls after driving then it probably isnt air intrusion but rather lack of fuel flow caused by clogged filter or weak pump.

how do i test that and what should it be testing at?

 

[bagpiperjosh]

how likely is it bad filters? like i was saying, after a good drive, no fuel comes out of the schrader valve for a while, because air is coming out. so to me it seems like theres definitly an air intrusion going on. i hate to spend money on filters if they arent needed. money is tight at the moment.

where do i get a meter for that? and what should it be running at?

Plumb a low pressure gauge into your cab, Then you will be able to rule out fuel delivery and give yourself GOOD REASON to move onto air intrusion. You could be pushing the scrader valve in and simply have no pressure to drive the fuel out.

will that work? it doesn't go into the cab though


and what is the PSI supposed to be at?

 

[bagpiperjosh]

i would like to know before my lunch break at noon so i can work on it ... thanks

Complete with tubing kit and mounting bracket.

That would work, you would need to but the mount and a sending unit if its not included.

so the one i linked to wont help? id like to get something locally if possible. and again....what is the psi they should be running at?

i think that just threads in to the schrader valve

You should have 6-8 psi at idle, at least 2psi under heavy acceleration. You can buy a tubing kit extra and plumb any mechanical presure gauge into your cab. This one uses a copper line, many use a plastic one. Either way, I like to sleeve them with some vacuum tubing to give a little extra protection.
