Beans E fuel NO START help please ASAP
So Everything is all hooked up.
I turn the key and can hear the pump turn on.
I get under neath the truck and fuel is only making it to the first filter.
Ive left it in the on position a couple of times.
The directions mention something of an IGN switch needs to be switched to "RUN" I cant find any switch. Maybe this is my problem?
please help ASAP

Well I cranked it some more and fuel started to fill the second filter up. But Ive cranked it numerous times now. Not for long ive been gentle on the starter. But its draining my batteries.
Should it be taking this long to fill the fuel system up with fuel??
Is it ok to hook jumper cables up to my truck while trying to crank her to get the fuel pumped through??

Fuel should flow constantly through the fuel system with the key in the on position. Cranking the starter has nothing to do with the flow of fuel. I've heard that sometimes electric fuel systems can be hard to get primed, for lack of a better term, but I've never had that issue. I would open up the regulator pressure wise (lower pressure more flow) and see if you can get it primed. I've read that filling the filters with fuel prior to turning the system on can help. Again I've never had to do that myself. Might want to open the fuel cap on whichever tank your running on. Might help flow.

Ok I've got fuel to the heads.
Still no start.
When I turn the key to on, the fuel pressure reads 20.
Do i adjust it to 60 at this point? I'm assuming it idles at 60.
How neccesacry are those white retaining clips with the selector valve hoses??

Thank you both Glen and Pete for your help.
I just needed to man up and crank that psi up. Truck fired right up.
Only issue I broke my white retaining clips for the selector valve hoses and they seem to be leaking.
Would there absence explain the leak possibly? even though I got under the truck and they seemed to be seated all the way.
