im waiting on the mechanic to get back to the shop on tues morning them im going to be at shop waiting on him to get there 7 am i talked to a man in florida that asked what tank are we using to try and crank it on i said the back he said that part of problem he said that when the engine was taken out the fuel pump to tank presure was lost that we need to use front tank and a rag and put air hose with rag wrapped around the air hose and put 8 pounds of presure ans but just quarter of fuel in fuel bowl and leave cap off and why puming air through tank turn key to help pump get started to get air out of lines and get fuel flowing we had to drain tanks all ready because i thought i had lot water in tanks so i pored achol in front and back tanks truck been sitting 2 years i hope that the diesel attive and 2 big bottles of rubbin achol did not hurt my tanks but my mechanic drained all fuel out and put fresh fuel in back tank it was running fine till he added water to raditor then he said it blowed out a white cloud smoke and since the fuel bowl has not been filling up so we put a new fuel pump on truck i hope what guy in florida say is true about using air hose to get air out and getin it primed up
