Guess what...think I have lift pump trouble
I know this will shock everyone, but I think I've got a failed lift pump, too. I was filling up with fuel tonight, and as I always do when fueling up, I open the water drain valve on the filter head and let any water that might be in there drain out. My usual routine is to open the valve, check the oil, then close the valve. For some reason this time a lot more fuel came out than usual, and made a nice little puddle under the truck. I must have taken longer to check the oil or something. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, until I started the truck after filling up, when it died after about 10 seconds or so. Knowing what happened, I key'ed off, then key'ed on, bumped the started, and then waited for the LP to kick in. To my dismay, there wasn't the usual whine of the LP. So, after another try and no luck, I proceded to start using the old crank for 30 seconds, wait for a few minutes, and try again. 5 or 6 minutes later it stumbled back to life. I'm pretty sure the pump is dead, but has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks,
