Install the fuel filter, screw lid back on. Open the fuel bowl drain, cycle the key several times. If no fuel drains out, then either:
1) the pump has lost its prime
2) the pump is not working
3) the lower pickup screen in fuel tank has broke off
4) the 2 prefilter screens in the fuel tank assembly are clogged.

Solutions:
1) fill tank up at least half way, blow low pressure air (20-30#) into filler hole while cycling the switch to prime pump
2)buy a new pump (easy to install)
3) drop tank and replace
4) drop tank and pull the assembly apart to clean prefilters.

The fuel bowl will not allow fuel to enter unless a filter is in place with lid screwed down or you push down on filter.
No way to "crack" these injectors as the fuel to them runs through the head.
The fuel regulator is downstream of the filter.



10-4. Will give this a try. Thanks Wes.

I had one with the same issue one time. Turned out part of the filter had broken off and was not allowing the new filter to seat correctly. Post above is correct in that the filter must press down to allow any fuel to enter the bowl. Spent days and a couple hundred dollars on diagnostics before I figured it out.

Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.

I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.

Drive a hybrid, I need your gas.

I've had similar experiences with diesels working in the woods logging, but we would pour gas on a rag and hold it over the air intake until it started. It would knock and sound like crap but it would help prime everything. If you try it make sure once it hits you cut it off and make sure you hold on to the rag, cause it will suck it up if you are not holding tight.

If it was running right before he stalled it due to no fuel, I'm willing to bet it's just not primed...did you try to crack the lid on the canister and bleed the air off daniel? It might be airlocked....crack the lid and spin it over and see what happens

My brother had seen me do the rag trick a lot. He called me one day because he had ran our farm truck dry. I told him what to do (not much gas) and I'd be there shortly. I pulled in as he was putting the rag in the air box. I for some unknown reason didn't double check him and started turning it over. When the damn thing fired up I thought it was going to take flight. I turned the switch off and bailed out. We ran about thirty yards and turned to watch the show. If we would have been downwind of the truck we wouldn't have been able to see each other standing toe to toe. That was a 96 Cummins in 99 or 2000 and the old motor is still running strong. Everything else is falling apart but she is still strong.

Ok. No fuel getting through the fuel pump. Off to get new one tomm. It's running but not pumping. Tried to pressurize fuel tank. Didn't work. Thanks for all the info.

I have topped of the eng oil and had them start up. I have also filled the fuel filter and hooked a chain to them and pulled them off if it is standard trans. In cold weather o-rings shrink up and allow fuel lines to suck air. Blowing air in the tank should fill up the filter. I have cranked a bunch of them ,you just have to keep trying things until you find something that works.
