Run your IDI outta fuel and it won't start?
 
I finally figured out how to "prime" my fuel system when I've run my truck outta fuel:jump:; just open up the valve on the bottom of the fuel/water separator a little bit, then crank it up!:jump: you might have to crank a few seconds, but it'll go pretty quickly. If you open it all the way, it'll DUMP fuel:td:. Once you're running, jump out and close that valve real quick, or your truck will act like it's starved for fuel.:nope: Keep rags handy, as you WILL get your arm covered in fuel.:tu:

Can we "Sticky" this? I wish to hell I'd have had this info available to me when I figured it out!

there should be a schader valve at the top of your fuel filter housing. if u press that in while cranking it will bleed air out and not spray everyhere.
