    No injector lines on that engine. Unit injectors with a fuel supply passage running through the cylinder head.

    Shop air in the fuel tank works like a charm. A rag and a blow gun, all you need. Doesn’t take much pressure to push the fuel. That’s the cheapest easiest fastest way. No theory or debate needed. It works. Newer engines have a priming port, even newer ones have a priming pump.

    Great!!! Just what I wanted to hear. Looks like I got a clogged fuel tank vent OR crossover line, since I’m only pulling fuel out of one tank, and why I ran out of diesel with over a quarter tank on the gauge. I appreciate the responses guys.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    …and yes I verified the tank had over a quater of fuel really inside. LOL

    Let me know what the problem was. Mines been drawing off one side only. Probably my shut off/ return valve. They’re expensive and since discontinued because of problems.

    Yeah I will let you know. I’ve been hearing it’s either fuel tank vent or fuel tank crossover line is blocked up.

    Blocked vent easy. Should be able to blow through vent hose on each tank. If not, blocked.
