Archived 2000 24v truck ran out of fuel not starting

[CurtisM]

My buddy is on theside if the road right now and I am going to get him. Bebore I lef tI thougt I would find out the prosedure for priming the fuel system so we can ge tit started. On my 12v truck when it ran out I added fuel and was able to keep cranking with a little throtle until it fired up and cleared out. Will this work on a 24v and what if any tools will I need to bring with me?

crack open a couple of injectors 1/4 turn or so it will bleed it faster. May want to also crack open the line from lift pump to injector pump so you don't turn it over dry to prime it.

On a 24V, the lift pump is electric so you do not need to crank the engine for it to run. You simply need to turn the key the the on position, then bump the starter. Cracking a line right before the injection pump will allow you to get fuel to the injection pump. Then reaatach that line and crack a couple of injector lines and crank it. Once the injector lines get wet, close them back up and start it. If you have a portable air tank, putting 15psi or so of pressure in the fuel tank will really help get the fuel through. Good luck getting it going again.
