Cutting out when hot
1997 F250 Diesel is cutting out when hot. Starts fine and runs well but when turned off the engine will not start for about three to five hours. Replaced Fuel Filter, and cps. No help. This truck is located in Mexico so I suspect fuel but cannot prove it. There is little or no help within 700 miles. Please, any suggestions will be taken seriously. Again once started the truck is an excellent piece of equipment. Please help

Sounds like the IPR orings are toast. The small orings will blow out and then not allow the High pressure pump to build pressure once the oil is hot /thin. Here is a link about the IPR. I've changed them on a friends truck and its not too hard of a fix.

Thanks much for the quick response. It is probably wise to order the entire IPR. I do not know how to get parts down here. I can have friends bring the parts.
