long cranking to start
if its no one thing its another. ok after pulling my fuel bowl recently i have a long crank issue. HPOP is full and oil is clean. fuel bowl is full of fuel. no fuel or oil in valley. no leaks i can see (and i have been doing a lot of looking lately). is their something in the FPR i prolly screwed up and allows fuel to drain back down?
thanks as always

thanks a bunch man. i took my fuel bowl back out last night after receving my package of o-rings. i re-sealed the bowl and got it cleaned up. i also took the FPR back apart. i really dont think i messed up the installation but i re-o-ringed it and cleaned it up as well. put it all back together and tried again. she still takes 10 seconds or so to start up. i am wondering if i messed up the FPR screen assembly somehow. either that or there is air in the fuel system now and i need to just run the truck and bleed the air off. this would make sense bc it only started after i took the fuel bowl off initially.
any other ideas?

ok i drove the truck this weekend consecutively 15 miles or so (still with the oil leak and wiring issue) and the cranking seems to be getting better so i think i just need to work out the air. i just scared myself thinking i did something wrong.
NOOOOWWWWW it seems i have a fuel leak, lol. it just wont stop for me lately. i know it is coming from the large banjo bolt on the back of the fuel pump. not sure is there an o-ring or does it just need to be tightened? i havent had the patience to go work on it yet.

Like Jose says, no o-rings (one of the few things on this engine that does not use o-rings) just two brass washers. Not really a big deal to try to tighten it. Everybody has their own way of doing it with a different tool, but I just use an 1 1/4" combination wrench. Clearance is a bit tight, but it can be done with everything in place. Mine was seeping a bit again the other day, so I gave it a 1/4 turn and it seems to have stopped for now. Next time it's getting a new fuel pump, and new fuel hoses.
Bear in mind that the banjo bolt may very well be leaking, but it is also a possibility that your leak is coming from the pump itself, and it may be on its way out.
