Archived ran 93 truck out of fuel, how to get started?

It's cold outside too!



What do I need to do to get fuel back to the engine?

I don't want to say for sure, but I did somewhat the same with my 01. .

open 1,3,4 or what ever lines you can get to and have someone crank the motor till fuel starts to bleed and close/tighten the line to the injector. Kinda like bleeding breaks. Then let it sit a min and do the second, sit a min and it should seem like it's trying to start on the third. When doing this the motor should be cranking to ensure air is out of the lines. One the 3 clinders are started, it should pull the other three to life. At least on my truck it did. Let me know if this works. . You can call me too. 413-222-4607

Clay,



I've never seen under the hood of a 12V to really look at it. But, I've heard that the LP has a finger primer (kind of like on a lawnmower) that you have to push the crap out of until you get fuel to the P7100. Then cranking with a few lines cracked should do the trick. I think if you crank it w/no fuel in the LP you are just exercising your starter.



Check on the 12V forum and search for something like "ran out of fuel" to come up with something if no one gets back to you on this post. Or, change the title of this post to include "12V".



Keep us posted.

Well thank you everyone for all the responses!



I cracked the fuel lines and cranked for a while. No fuel spray.



Tried the little finger pump and pumped it a bunch. Cranked some more and presto fuel spray.



Tightenend the lines and she fired off. A bit rough at first but it cleared right up.



Thanks again!
