out of fuel 1995 international t444e

[phillip]

Need some help here guys! got a 1995 international t444e. bought the truck, tried to start it for about 40 seconds then looked at the fuel, and i had pumped air into the injectors, now I cannot get it to start, bled fuel at the fuel racks, anyone got any ideas? it will start on ether but die as soon as you stop spaying. we have even towed it down the road to see if the air would work its way out. it didnt.

How old is the fuel? You might be dealing with a condensation/water problem. If possible, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. If there’s a fuel filter/water separator canister under the hood, empty it too and fill with fresh fuel.

the person that i got the truck off of had taken all the fuel out of the truck, so there is litterally air all through the fuel system, because i started it up ran for about 10 seconds hasnt hit any since.

Ok small update. fuel is now to the fuel rails. but there is no color to the exhaust when trying to start. I am just cranking in 10 second intervals to save the starter, but no luck so far anyone got any idea’s?
