I have been fighting this problem for 3 years now. As long as its above 10*F my pump works just fine. Any colder then that and I have trouble. I can turn the ignition on and hear the pump running, the FP comes up to normal, and my truck starts fine. Within 30 seconds or so, the fuel pressure drops to zero, and the truck dies. The only "fix" I have found is to point my tornado heater at the fuel tank until its warm to the touch, and everything is fine. A couple of times I have left the truck running overnite to avoid cold start problems, only to go out in the morning and find it dead. I have tried every different filter available, cleaned the screens and the gerotor 100 times to no avail. Every time this happens I drain the WS and the fuel is crystal clear, its not waxing or gelling, the pump just wont pull it from the tank. Whats a guy to do?
Will a fuel sump help, so the pump doesnt have to "lift" the fuel from the tank? Im really stumped here. I need the fuel flow of the Airdog, but as a volunteer firefighter, I need my truck to start and run 24/7/365, no matter what the outside temp is. Any ideas?
