Inline fuel pump

I always had to crank my truck for a while to get it to start when it is cold.
I have changed quite a few things, but it is still almost the same. I dieselmech. told me I could have a internal leak in the injectorpump. He told me that I could try an electric inline fuel pump, he new there was some witch stayd on only 12 sec. everytime you turned on the ignition. He colud not remember the name of it, and I have been looking on the internet, with no luck. Anyone of you guys heard of something simular to this pump?

Does it start okay once it's warmed up?

allot of guys use and reccomend a holley red pump, makes changing fuel filters much easier to. a simple chevy block off plate can be used for where the mechanical pump was to.

Cold start problems are usually glow plug related or air intrusion of the fuel system.

How does it start or attempt to start?

Crank and fire up, then die, then long crank= lift pump or some air somwhere getting in the system

Crank and crank and crank and kinda fire= check ur glow plugs

How long is ur wait to start light staying on?

Yeah, a lot of people will name injection pump when its glow plugs. These engines are far more sensitive than other brands about glow plugs. I also have a small fuel pump on a toggle switch, I turn it on when I change fuel filters.
