Oh yeah, would it be a bad idea to blow compressed air into the IP? I wanted to make sure it was cleared out.

I just removed the brackets blocking the lines and the filter location. I then pulled the mine from the pump to the filter housing. Then as I was pulling the pump so I can check it out I realized there is a question I should have asked a lot sooner. What is the lever for on the fuel pump?

You rae correct, I do plan to add those tools to my tol box as soon as I can get some extra cash. I was just out there pulling those brackets off so I can get in there and get a closer look at how it all goes together.

Thanks for the break downs thoae are a big help in understanding hwo these parts work. I do nto have a meter to check the selonoid.

Then what is the thing just above the fuel filter. It has a broken connector.

Where is the solenoid located?

It is a stock 12 volt system. The fuel is getting to the pump but I do nto see any other valve anywhere.

This is what I am looking at now. There does not appear to be any fuel getting through the IP. Also, what I thought was new fuel in the injector lines is actually old fuel. New fuel is getting to the pump, but from there I do not know what is happening. The electrical connector right above the...

So I guess that is something that has to stay on the truck. If I take it off I will not have a way to shut the engine off.

So running the lead will open it? The removing it will close, right? Thanks for the heads up, I will check them out.

How do I get the electronic valve to work if that is the problem? Also, is it something I can just eleminate?

Ooooooohhhh. It is one of those group things. I will have to try and get on it when I get home. I did not hear anything clicking on or off. I will have to dig into it deeper. I was hoping to have it running by tomorrow. But now I have to work all day and most of the night.

That first one I posted is the only one I have.

You are not being a smart ass. I do not know at all. This is my first 6BT so I am learning with every step I take.

That truck has a mechanical fuel pump so could it still have that shut off? I do not know if it does or not. What should I look for?

I just went out and looked for a tag and could not find one. I did find this photograph though.

I have no idea. What would help identify it?

I have a 5.9 12 valve Cummins in a Dodge that was converted to a military aircraft tug. Everything from the cab up is a standard non military based truck. When I got the truck it ran but had old fuel in it. That caused the truck to shut down and not restart two years ago. Well, I have cleaned...

I just wanted to let you all know, it looks as though these parts are going to a very good home. The museum in Houston will be taking them on. It sure does feel good to know they are going to help some MV's be reborn.

I sent him a PM a little while. I would not mind at all helping out some one you helps others. I also want to get some of this to that place in Texas.
