Help please!

So today i removed my fuel bowl. i got the fuel bowl rebuild kit online and when i got the fuel bowl out it started raining so i decided to put fuel bowl back in and do it another day. i also had to remove tube that connects to the turbo. anyway i got everything reconnected and now the truck is running very very rough im afraid to even start it again. does anybody know what could be causing this please help ASAP!

Maybe your FPR screen has some crap in it? You could try to flush out your bowl with the drain lever too. Air in the lines? How long did you let it run after you put the bowl back in? Hope this helps.

I agree with Red about possibly air in the lines. Start it up and let it run for a few minutes and see if it clears up.
