Truck won't start, Fuel pump problems?

[jsa75]

Ok I will try this tonight when I get home. The truck isn't here, so do you know of the top of your head the size hose I will need to buy so I can get what I need without going home and getting under my truck? Thanks for all the help.

Does the pump have a female threaded connection?

Switch a Shop Vac hose to the Blow side.. put the end of the Vac hose over the tank fill port. Open the Water drain on the filter. Turn the key on, Turn the Vac on.. put a little pressure on the tank. Watch for fuel coming out of the Filter drain.. Slowly close the Filter drain.. let the pump run till it pressurizes (Cycles off). Start'er up. It'll Stumble till it purges but it'll run.

A 2 man deal.. or the Wife to holler WHOA when fuel comes out of the filter drain. (into a bucket/pan underneath)

Needless to say... You can push fuel to anywhere in between too ?

Shade tree as hell.. but it works.

Good idea, thanks. I was working on the truck when I locked my only set of keys inside =[ I will try this trick after the locksmith arrives.
