Hiiway 178... Grrr. <br><br>Fuel Gauge Read 1/8th, and light came on. Drove 2 miles truck sputtered 1 time, then died.<br><br>Figured out of fuel. Added 10 gallons via can. Blead system at filter on the banjo, and overflow/bypass/water thing and I also bleed fuel at inj. pump using banjo.<br><br>To do this, I &quot;bumped&quot; the starter, then blead while the pump ran.<br><br>Tried cranking the truck over for several attempts at ~15 seconds each. <br><br>Truck wont start. Please help!!!<br><br>If you know what I'm missing, please reply, or call my cell phone @ 760-371-5678!<br><br>Thanks!!!<br><br><br>--Phillip

 

I don't know if your truck is out of fuel or not, but try to press the accelerator to the floor while cranking it over. This may help if the fuel pressure regulator is stuck.

 

Does that have anything to do with the Fule Shutoff Solinoid?<br><br>I was told to try and trouble shoot that, but can't see anything visibly wrong.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>FYI - I'm going to start the long bike ride back to my truck to attempt this. If oyu get any other ideas, anyone (Bueler, Bueler) feel free to call <br><br>Thanks again!<br><br>--Phillip

 

Gotta a ride back, needless to say it didn't work. How long was I suposed to hold hte pedal for? I held it for 15secs. then I tried pumping it.<br><br><br>Needless to say my batteries are dying and I need help! PLEASE!!!<br><br>--Phillip

 

transfer pump mite have died did you have diesel coming out when you bled the lines

 

I had gallons come out. The transfer pump is working rally well. That's why I'm confused because I've bled the system at the only 3 places I can think of (2 on the filter, and 1 on the inj. pump). <br><br>Do I try and bleed it at the injectors?

 

I'd crack at least one of the injector lines and see if any fuel comes out.<br>This will let you know if the injection pump is working or not.<br><br>Did you check the fuel filter?<br>Maybe it is gummed up enough to not let much through.<br><br>good luck<br><br>phox

 

Crasc the 3 and 4 lines turn onj the key and see if fuel comes out lift pump should push it to there. If not leave key on and off till pump pushes the fuel to injectors. Check the banjo at the injector pump to make sure your getting fuel to it when you run out it still takes a while for the lines to get fuel. Cranking wont really help since the pump is electronic just keep turning it on and off to let pump cycle good luck.

 

Got it! :whew:<br><br><br>Pulled the fuel lines to 2 of the 6 injectors. I pulled the 1st and 3rd starting from the front.<br><br>This bled those lines so I reconnected them, and fired the truck on 2 cyl. ROUGH! But it quickly (like less than 5 seconds) smoothed out as the other inj. lines bled.<br><br>Thanks for all the help!!!

 

The manual says only two injector lines have to be bled on the high pressure side of things when it needs it. Interesting that the lift pump will push fuel out the injector lines if given long enough.

 

Glad to hear you're up and runnin' again. <br><br>Moral of this story:<br>Don't depend on a fuel guage.<br>Under normal conditions I don't let mine get below a 1/4 tank.<br>Remember the VP injection pump is cooled by fuel. The lower the tank gets, the warmer the fuel will get as it recirculates.

 

Desert Diesel,<br><br>Keep a can of WD40 in your truck. The next time you run out of fuel :-[ take and shoot some into the air intake and start the truck. 8) This is much quicker than bleeding the injectors and wont hurt the engine. Don't use starter fluid, it's way to volital for a turbo charge engine, the WD40 works great. <br><br>DB

 

WD40 is pressurized with propane isn't it? I know it works on small engines as well.

What a great WD40 site. I know we've all experienced the &quot;heart-ache&quot; of loosing the little red straw : : :<br><br>A little dramatic don't you think
