I was able to source a FM100 base from my local napa, so I'll just replace the whole assembly with a better design. Square filters shouldn't exist.

I got fuel pressure through the filter and got it fired up for 5 seconds at a time now. I'm sure it just needs more bleeding, but the fuel filter base is leaking internally. The filter itself is full of fuel, but the dripping is coming straight off the base of the filter. Not sure why it's doing...

All good, I've got one on order from kascar.

Why is there this hole on the fuel pump..looks like it would allow oil to escape?

The rod seems to have broken without breaking into small pieces.

I guess this push rod is a little difficult to get. Amazon doesn't have any? I'm in a hurry to encounter the next problem that will keep this engine from running.

Yeah I'm having trouble finding a magnet that is small enough. Most are large ones used for picking up bolts. Where can I get a new rod? It doesn't look like napa/O'Reilly/AutoZone has one ... What grease do I use for the new rod? Update: got a magnet, got the piece out. Good to go there...

Push rod is broken. How much is still left in the engine? Does the fragment fall into the pan or remain against the cam?

Yes the pump is dry. But that pump is working. There is fuel getting to the inlet of the filter. I'm probably overthinking this and its just a clogged filter. Hopefully.

Yeah I inspected all that rubber hosing, its in good shape, no dry rot or holes.

Yeah I opened that valve and nothing while cranking. So I suppose changing the filter and checking for obstructions is the problem is first loe

Short of disassembling the intake, both hoses do go under the manifold. I suppose the filter is the issue though? Since one side if full of fuel and the other is dry?

Which line is input and which is output? Top line is full of fuel. Bottom line is bone dry. I suppose it depends on which is which, but looks like a filter issue?

Wouldnt it be leaking if the lines were letting air in/ chewed on?

Just in case I do have to replace the fuel pump, the oil level is below where the push rod enters the block right?

Brand new batteries, 24.5v. But the alternator lights are both on, but I suppose that's a problem for another day. Yeah compression might be the issue, not sure how it could happen on a 14k mile 6.2?

On a side note, would you happen to know how long a 6.2 could idle off of fuel in the lines if it couldn't get fuel from the tank? When I first started it, it idled fine for 10 minutes then died, and now I can't get it started. Do you think this would indicate clogged lines from the tank or...

So my 6.2 cranks but doesn't start. All glow plugs have replaced with ac Delco 60g. I checked voltage at the plugs and they are getting 12v. I checked the pink wire on the IP and it's getting 12v, I also sanded the tab down a bit for better contact. Fuel gauge read 1/2 tank, but I put 5...
