    new fuel pump ideas ?

    Just installed a new ford superduty elec fuel pump.. wich sucks thur a racor fuel filter / water sep.. well install went pretty well now.. starting the truck is a little longer.. cranking time.. i did drain all the fuel rails while doing the fuel pump.. and also the high pressure oil rails.. was wondering. if that could be some of my problem on starting.. (longer cranking time due to air in the lines..) oh.. comming out of the heads i plumbed it to a aeromotive reg.. set to about 62-64lbs pressure.. is that about correct.. do i need a check valve or something.. when i turn off engine my fuel pressure drops to zero.. well thanks for the help

    How many miles have you driven it since the mod? It takes a while to get all of the air out of the oil lines.

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    I learned recently it depends on the number of starts to bleed the oil, not the length of time it's running. -hope that helps
