Thread: Ran Out of Fuel

    On my Duramax I have to get under the hood and pump the little pumper dealie then hop in the truck and crank. Back and forth in and out of the truck for 15 to 20 minutes until it wants to start. Then once the truck does start, I have to feather the gas peddle for a few minutes.

    Maybe if more fuel stations supplied diesel fuel we woulnt have this problem. :idea:
    I was with my buddy one night in Long Beach and he ran out in his Duramax. Went by 5+ stations, none which carried diesel. He had to the same thing you did. ...Boy was that scary being stuck there at 11pm on a Sunday. The fellas walking by staring at us looked like the guys you would see in a Rap video...but not as friendly..

    I've run out of fuel in my duramax 3 times in the last couple of months.
    I don't know if it's because I'm an idiot or because I'm an idiot...
    I dunno if this will help or not, but you might try this:

    if you happen to run out again, witch it sounds like you might. instead of runing back and forth 15-20 times to prime the system. there is a bleeder valve right by the alternator and fuel injection control modual. just pump the little primmer like you already do, then when the primmer is hard to pump bleed the air out of the system. repeat this process until you get solid fuel out of it and no more air. this is the same process you should use when changing a fuel filter. this will save you a lot of time when trying to restart the truck. if you get all the air out, then it should start and run fine the first try.

    I think that there's a problem with my fuel system somewhere. The last 1/8 of the tank goes really fast and then when the light comes on I have about a half mile and I'm done...
    There was someone on here a while back that had a hook up on the larger fuel tanks and we were going to do a group buy, but nothing ever came of it.
