Your boss takes two weeks to do paperwork? I would think any driver with a micron of brain matter would have spoke up and said "uh, hey....i'm down to an eighth of a tank, and the nearest truck stop is 90 min away..."
by your own admission, you should be able to run the truck 200 miles+ on an eighth of a tank, yeah?? whats the proboem...mom still has to speak for you, or do you not have your own voice to speak for yourself?? |

Ohh silly me, I should of just printed a few hundred dollar bills off of my printer to go buy some fuel.
so you end up running the truck out of fuel rather than speak up, or do whatever was needed to keep fuel in the tank. nice going..... |

if you read my previous post where i said i didnt know how far i could actually go on "E", and i for one didnt want to be stuck on the side of the road running my truck out of fuel, i stopped and put some in to get me the 70 miles or whatever it was to my fuel stop. So what.

Haha I feel like a moron! I looked in the manual for the fuel filter changing procedure, thinking it would tell me how to prime it, well it does... There is a frickin electric priming switch right in the dash! I always wondered what that switch was for... now I know...
What's even funnier... You may NEVER have to use it ever again. |

in my experience all D12 enigines have a manual primer button on the same assembly as the can filter check filters to ensure there full fill as needed this goes for the can style filter on the left side of the engine and the glass bowl filter on the right then work the primer button SLOW AND STEADY until it becomes to hard to push then crank engine its not likely to fire on the first try however if you repeat this 2 maybe 3 times she should light up however dont take this as victory keep the revs in high idle range for 5 or so min, we have had trucks make it 20 miles before they ran out of fuel again just from whats in the filters, lines and head once the truck is running watch the glass bowl filter for bubbles, on a D12 the fuel is under vacume and around 60 (opposite of psi blanked on unit of measure) and we all know what happens with air in a fuel system
