Hey guys I have a 1986 Ford f250 6.9 diesel. I put a new tank new fuel lines new sending unit and a new fuel pump with to new batteries. I purged all the fuel lines all the way to the injector pump but when I cracked the lines on the injectors to bleed the injectors I couldn't get any fuel through those lines. I know the truck will start though because when I put some diesel in the intake it tries to start i also checked to make sure i had electricity to the pump with a test light and I have power. I know i don't have working glow plugs but I heard of those trucks starting with out glow plugs. Could this mean I have a bad injector pump or could there be something else wrong?

 

So was it running prior to all this ?

 

Yes it was

 

It has always had a hard starting problem though

 

I would start with getting rid of the Fuel bowl fuel filter to start with ... I use a BF-1222 baldwin filter .. Wix makes one that can be cross referenced with the BF-1222 #'s...

If nothing changes, start checking fuel lines and such .. might go ahead and swap out the Lift pump ... Not real hard to do ...

Keep us posted ..
