It depends on short or long bed...short, you added 40% of full....Long, you added 1/3 of a tank.

If you did run out of fuel (not gas) and tried to restart continually, then it will take some time to regain a prime again. Keep trying to prime it.

When was the last time you changed your fuel filter??? I would change it and prim it and see what happens. If you ran it out of fuel then it does take a while to prime it.

[B]These trucks do not have a lift pump-- [/B]if you run out of fuel or change the filter, you have to prime the system with the hand pump at the top of the filter housing- and bleed the air out at the small plastic screw on the filter housing.

The fuel is pulled from the tank by the injustion pump.

If you continue to crank it, you will burn up the starter.

Blow a little air in the fuel tank and open the beeder screw to let the air out.

long bed: 34 gallons

short bed: 26 gallons?

well from the picture it looks like an extended cad standard/short bed.

So it should be a 26 gallon tank.
