First recovery from Ft. Leonard Wood, made it home

[capnkirk]

How likely is a primary fuel line blockage?

 

[73m819]

Bypass all your fuel lines, run hose from left tank to filter

 

[capnkirk]

Tips on easiest way to tie fuel hose into tank?

 

[capnkirk]

Cut line at filter and hose barb?

 

[Suprman]

You have a fuel feed, return and a vent line I believe. Was the truck running fine prior to this or did you just get it?

 

[73m819]

put one end in tank fill and tie off, other end clamp to in fitting at filter

I would use one of your trailer air lines as a temp hose.

Does the strainer come off? Strap wrench?

 

[73m819]

If you have to put a hole in the fill screen, do it so you can get hose to near bottom of tank.

 

[73m819]

hes, it comes off

 

[doghead]

Yes, the strainer unthreads off the tank.

 

[Suprman]

It unscrews like the cap does. I use duct tape on the teeth of a big pipe wrench

 

[73m819]

I am sorta posting, not knowing what tools he has, the bare minimum for what he needs to get going, he has anything more is a +.

 

[doghead]

A screwdriver used as a chisel, may spin it off(loosen it).

A leather belt or rubber engine belt.

 

[doghead]

I'd be curious to know what happens if he tried to bleed the fuel system with the manual pump.

Is there fuel in the tank?

 

[doghead]

Cold there?

Using fuel additive?

Has the filter been changed recently?

Cool a help thread with a good title and NOT HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP,

You are in good hands with DH and 73M819

Location would also be good in case members are near by and bored

 

[Warthog]

If the vent line is plugged and the pump is causing a suction, just loosen the cap and see it it will run.

 

[Warthog]

He is on a recovery from Ft Leonard wood MO. Heading back to the NE corner of Oklahoma.

 

[doghead]

Threads merged, background helps.
