I have 2 CUCV's with the same problem. Never had any problems with starting the 1028 or the 1008. Then out of the blue they both loose prime over night. I tried a new lift pump on one, no help. Changed all rubber lines on both,no help. Changed the fuel filter on mine, the 1028 and it was fine for about a week. Put both trucks on a lift and can not find any leaks ,no wet fuel lines.
I talked to my diesel mech. that dose all the work on my tow trucks and he told me to try opening the vent for the tank. So I pulled the rubber plug off the vent line behind the cab And it worked on the 1028 and the 1008. Problem is as soon as the weather warms up the fuel expands and pours out the vent.
I put the plugs back on. Problem comes back. Both trucks run perfect once they start as they always have.
I'm out of ideas. I was going to try a new IP on the 1028 but have a hard time with two IP going bad at the same time.
Where do I go from here?
