Gremlins gone...
Ok, I've been have been chasing gremlins in my fuel system. Good News: Cured!! I got tired of my truck not running right, hard starting and losing prime. What did I do to castrate the gremlins? Started at the fuel line at the selection valve and installed a anti-back flow valve / removed the mechanical fuel pump and block plated the block, installed a Facet-Purolator / Facet Drra-Lift fuel pump / replaced the compression gaskets on the discharge fuel line from the filter to the injection pump / replaced all the plastic caps, o-rings and return lines / disconnected the return line from the filter to #1 injector housing and plugged... The truck now starts like it's supposed to, runs great and have the hesitations any longer.... I picked up 12v power from the pre-heater hot side (on only with the ignition switch activated), installed a inline fuse system... NOTE: All fuel line clamps are fuel line style, not standard screw type hose clamps... Thanks to everyone that has posted fuel problems here, they were a great help and gave me as lot of input and good ideas...
TO EVERYONE OUT THERE... HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS...
