No fuel when priming

[tgtaylor64]

While running V-85 in my 85 M-1009, I dumped in about 2 gallons of filtered WMO. I drove it about 10 miles the same day with no issues. The next morning, it started but starting losing power after about a mile on the road. I could not get it to stay started and towed it home. I changed out the fuel filter and performed the prime per -20. However, I am unable to get fuel to flow from the vent line. My fear is that the WMO is sitting on the bottom of the tank and not well mixed, thus causing the pumping issue. Any suggestions to get going again?

Fuel output at the fuel pump? Coincidental failure?

Connect a new fuel line to the input side of the fuel pump and put the other end in a fuel can of clean diesel and try priming again.

Clogged fuel sock at the tank?

Am i missing something?? Since when can you run E85 in a diesel? or are you mixing it with Diesel and motor oil?

swap the filter out .. you got air in the line and consider electric fuel pump

i used this one Buy Mr. Gasket Electric Fuel Pump Diesel 12D at Advance Auto Parts and it made my truck so much easier to deal with running WMO. The reviews on it are OK, some good, some bad. From my experience I couldn't be happier. It has been on my rig 11 months with ZERO issues. Plus, it's a life saver if you ever had a situation where you needed to prime the system again.
