I lost prime once after changing injector, no fittings on Truck to pressurize the system. I used a mini air crompressor, cut the end off of hose and clamped it onto the fuel tank vent, crimped off other vent and plugged it into accessory, only need 10 lbs or less to push fuel. I put 20 lbs in system, started up and died out. Had to wait till air bled off through vents. Once it got down to about 7 lbs on compressor gauge, I popped the fuel cap off quickly. It blew off,luckily it didn’t break my hand. Got to be careful a little pressure goes a long way. After that it ran fine.All the cranking in the world wouldn’t prime it up.

Just thought after reading @Rideandrepair - jumping dead batteries will cause some issues, like he said.

I’ve had some goofy stuff related to bad batteries with the large car and all it’s circuitry.

I’ll up the bet on fuel issue to 4cents.

I probably had sparked it while jumping, I recall I had a loose terminal and it was smoking,It was sub zero out and in a hurry at the time.After a while trying to figure it out, someone mentioned the fuse. I honestly didn’t even know of it at the time. Live and Learn
