<p>[QUOTE=&quot;88 Alpha, post: 4770030, member: 85861&quot;]In short, I ran the APU fuel filter out of fuel.&nbsp; That happens when you know you are cutting it close on fuel and you loose power to the truck.&nbsp; Then, as you are sitting on the shoulder of the road, you attempt to crank the APU.&nbsp; If the APU doesn&#039;t crank, you ran the truck out of fuel.&nbsp; If the APU cranks, the problem is elsewhere.&nbsp; The APU ran for about a minute, then it too, lost power.&nbsp; At that point, I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what I had done. </p><p><br /></p><p>I called one of our mechanics this afternoon to get his advice.&nbsp; He said the way the company has these installed, it is very difficult for a driver to re-prime one.&nbsp; He said you have to force air into the fuel tank to force the fuel from the tank to the APU pump.&nbsp; Told me the best thing to do is take it by a T/A and let them do it unless I were going by our shop so he could do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
