Ran out of diesel & can't start...help please
Hello,
Unfortunately one of my employees was driving my F350 Powerstroke Diesel this morning and ran out of fuel. We have put more fuel in the tank, but cannot get it to start.
Anyone have any suggestions asap?
Thank you!
You may even call me as the vehicle is stuck on the side of a Georgia interstate: 765.532.2706

My drivers run our bucket trucks out of fuel all the time. I add 5 gallons of fuel and pressurize the tank to get the frame rail pump primed. Take an air tank with you with a blow nozzle attached. Open the fuel drain on the filter, insert the blow nozzle in the filler neck, with a rag wrapped around it to help seal the tank. Blow air into the tank to pressurize it (Not too much) and force the fuel to the fuel pump. The pumps won't pull the fuel from the tank unless you prime them.
Should work like a charm.
