I finally got the tank from LMC. It actually showed up pretty fast but took me a few days to get back to the shop to install it. I got it in, bled the lines and it started right up with about 5 seconds on the glow plugs. I have not taken it for a spin yet but I am hoping that this finally...

I did blow out the lines while I was replacing the lift pump but I like your idea of air in the tank to pre-prime. Thanks.

One can hope. Tank and sender are ordered. Time will tell! Have a good weekend!

That's a good idea for sure. I pulled the tank today and found a lot of junk coating the tank and sending unit. Looked like a combination of rust and old, old fuel. The new fuel I had put in there doesn't look new anymore and is a little red colored. Most likely part rust and part Marvel...

I ran the PM tests on the lift pump....I got 6 psi and almost a liter of fuel in a 13-15 second turn of the engine so I am thinking the lift pump is good. I have fuel. I hot wired the fuel cutoff solenoid to the battery and tried again. It died again in a few minutes on the road. It still...

That is something that I will look into first. I suppose I could wire up a light in the cab using power from that wire and see if it was flashing or out when the engine dies. A friend suggested to just hot wire that solenoid from the battery and see if it quits....same test different way of...

So, update is in order. I swapped in the new injection pump and got it started again after a long ordeal with the water drain on the filter housing leaking and letting fuel out and air into the system so much so that I could not get it primed. I got the leak fixed and the pump primed and it...

Thanks for the input but I did not ask what you thought of Marvel Mystery Oil. Turns out the weep hole in the injection pump was leaking fuel so I ordered a pump. IT is in today but not yet started. Time will tell if that was my whole issue.

It ran great till I tried to drive it home.....50 miles. I got about 5 miles into the trip and it died....no fuel. Started right back up and drove another mile and it died again...no fuel. It did this several times and got harder and harder to get started again. I got it turned around headed...

Can I drive it like this if the pump is going or is it going to quit on the road pretty quick. I want to drive it home.....50 miles vs driving 100 miles to work on it a few days a week.

IT's not really doing that. IT starts right back up after it dies....like 1/3 revolution of engine and it is running.

The truck has 18000K on it so I suspect it has never been rebuilt. It has been sitting for 7-10 years (I think) but was used in parades and the like before that. It seems to run fine when I have pressure on the throttle but when I back off quickly it dies. Fuel looks clean coming out of the...

I got my 1984 M1010 running. The fuel tank was emptied and fresh fuel put in with a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil. It also has a new fuel filter in place. For the record I did start it before changing the fuel or filter .....maybe not a good idea. It starts up pretty good when cold after three...
