I have VE D12 i almost ran out of fuel the other day but was able to make to the truck stop before it died on me. I put in about 30 gallons and the drove about 30 mins and the truck just died out on me. The truck said i had about 20g in the tank but i had my son bring me another 15g anyways. I engauge the prime pump and it turned on and ran for about 4-5 mins the died again. I called the dealer and they told me my primiar pump was probley bad so i changed it out, along with the filter. I flicked the switch for the primer pump and it turned right on and ran for 15mins and then died again. I checked the fuel filter and it was empthy so i filled it and put it back on and it did the same thing. I did this a couple of time each time it did the same thing but everytime I took off the filter you could hear a buildup of air being released by the 5-6 time it wasn't release any more air and I got it to where it would stay runing for about 45 mins and then died i got a moblie guy to come out and check it out and he by pass the tanks a hooked up a fitting dircetly to the fuel pump and put the other end inside a 5g jug of diesel and it did the same thing. So he figured it was the Fuel Filter Base Assembly. I got the new one in today and put it on and Its doing the same thing but this time it's only running for about 5 mins before it stalls out. Also i put back on the original fuel pump and took the new one back and right before it's about to die the computer is saying mechanical failure in Inj # 1 and Low fuel Pressure. I've been down all week and Im about to losse my MIND. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
