    96 Kenworth t600 Detroit 60series had sugar in the tank did not crank all we did was wash tanks out let em dry fill both up now can't get it to start run off ether as long as you spray it but soon you let it go it goes dead I was told a bad fuse in battery box and yes I bled the lines and fill fuel filter up any input or something else I can try but gone check fuel first

    If I understand you correctly. It does turn over & you are using ether to fire it over it will run. It is not the fuse in the battery box. It is not staying primed it is not fuel going to the injectors. How did sugar get in the tank?

    Well being sabotaged is a ruff guess what some monkey could have done. But my guess would be to change SRS, and TRS sensor.

    Only other thought is the power cables l, small 12ga, harness running with starter cables. Has a square plug, about behind battery box, on its way to ecm. Check to make sure its clean.


    New filters and primed? And you hooked lines back up correctly?
     
    062 and ibcalm19 Thank this.

    You need to unhook fuel lines at back of eng. or fuel filter with tank lines off tanks too and blow out all fuel that you can replace fuel filter and prime it then look to be sure clean fuel is getting to fuel filter?
