Thank you so much for this video man! I’m in the middle of nowhere in between Reno and Las Vegas.. shutoff the engine and went to sleep. 3 hrs later tried to fire the engine and it will only crank. After 2 hrs of trying did the pump thing without the diesel part and it worked… you saved me too much $$$$ thank you again!!!!!!

I remember trying this method in the past when changing all the fuel filters and it didn’t work for me. I may have done something wrong. Maybe this method works best when only removing the (big) fuel/water separator filter. The method I use now when replacing my fuel filters on the two-filter system module is adding fuel to the smallest filter while I pump the hand primer. I keep on adding fuel and pumping it until the fuel begins to rise quickly when I stop pumping. Then I quickly insert the small filter and close it up. Then I pump the hand primer about 50-100 times and it works every time. There is a video out there showing this method. I’ve used this method when replacing injector seals and even the fuel pump. It worked with no issues.

Just make sure the diesel that you're adding to the filter housing is filtered, you don't want any particles going in to your fuel system and clog the injectors, thanks for watching sir!!

Had this problem crop up right before vacation. Truck wouldn't start. Tried priming it with the filter pump but couldn't get it to go stiff & damn near killed my batteries. Switched off kill switch. Sat for 2 weeks. A friend suggested I get it started by gasoline soaking the air filter but read that could damage the engine. Saw your video. I topped off water/fuel separator cup with diesel & primed away. Started to get stiffer but not as stiff as it's supposed to. I capped the cup & primed more but the pump loosened up & felt like I just started to prime air again. So I topped off again & turned the key to the on position so fuel pump could help with priming. I turned key a few more times & every time I'd return to prime the pump it felt a little weaker & would soon stiffen up. Once I felt it couldn't stiffen up any more I capped the filter cup & started to crank. 6-7 seconds it fired up. Thank you for your video amigo! It really helped guide me in the right direction. I do have an issue that's causing my system to lose prime. Could be a check valve in the filter body or water fuel separator base. Fuel quantity valve is messing up too. Not sure if that can be causing the issue. So far it's been idling for about 2hrs & I'm still getting bubbles coming up from the base of the water fuel separator cup. Will post an update once I figure it out so as to help the next guy. ✌️

I had another truck on a 2018 Cascadia were the fuel pump failed and there was metal everywhere. I change the pump with a used fuel pump and cleaned out all the metal in the fuel filter hosing and tanks to the best I can. Put everything back together and it’s started after a long time of pumping and drove it around for a while. It drove good other than when started off slow/taking it very easy on the pedal, the truck would shake but if I accelerate fast or drive “normal” it would be fine. Now I took out the filters again to check them (very tiny metal shavings were at the bottom but nothing like before (will be changing fuel filters every trip back in till no more metal) and now the truck won’t start and the hand pump isn’t getting any harder. Do you have any idea what is wrong? Sorry for making this so long.

🌴What I am having a problem with I have prime but the fuel line doesn't hold.The fuel line drops and you can't see the fuel any longer still have prrime.I even filled it up again pumped and the fuel line wouldn't drop but after I start the truck or eventually the fuel line drops and you can't see the fuel line at all. Strangely enough had service done they put in a different filter and the line held.The filter I'm having a problem with is the fleet guard ele max plus.When temps get cold the fuel line comes back up but as soon as it warms up in the beginning it drops but after awhile of using the product it operates what you would expect.Its like the filter is to good at letting fuel get by then when it encounters weather and then it's at a either lower level but you can see the fuel line or it's high but never right where the fuel line is supposed to be. Luber Finer will hold the line.But I have never had the actual chance to put a different manufacturer filter in to know if it is something I'm not getting right.Same engine compartment as you same. Same problem in different trucks Peterbilts Kenworths Freightliner with the fleet guard ele max plus.I used to work in a machine shop and maybe there is the bottom o ring is not up to spec the tolerance is just a hair to big ya know.But I'm still thinking is there something I'm doing wrong in thinking that the people behind the fleet guard would be more aware of this than me.🥞
