Help me! My 96 PSD won't start. It sat for 1 week plugged in. Now it just cranks a little faster than usual but won't produce any smoke. There is fuel in the bowl, new fuel filter, fuel in the tank, the oil level is right at the top, and plenty of juice in the batteries. The oil pressure guage hasn't budged a bit even with prolonged cranking. Could it be that the oil has drained from the HPOP? If so, where is it and how do I prime it?

Thanks in advance!

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Thanks! It's runnin' now! I had to use a 30cc syringe because I didn't have a funnel that small. Any way to prevent this in the future?

Glad to hear you got her to fire buddy! Takes your breath away when things like that happen. As for solving the leak down problem, PM a fellow named NIT, he is quite a guru on the oil system of the PSD. Bet he can help out.

I thought it was only the 95's that had to worry about leak down? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] But strange stuff like this tend to happen all the time to all different kinds of people. I'm just glad the problem is fixed now.

Technically only the 94.5's and 95's had to worry about leakdown when putting a Super Duty pump on. In other words, yours shouldn't leak down like that.
