Hello
I have a ford 8700 diesel tractor. The line from the tank rubbed the frame and brought air into the system I repaired the line, bled the system many times, but I cannot get it running. I bypassed the fuel tank and used a 5 gallon racing gas can with a fitting and ran it directly to the lift pump. Bled it many many more times with no luck.
I put an electric pump between the fuel can and the fuel filters. The fuel filters are brand new. It was much easier to bleed with the electric fuel pump. I am now getting good fuel at the injectors, but after doing this for several days, it will not run. It will run with starting fluid until the starting fluid is gone. I cannot believe that this tractor will not run, It has been good for 10 years, no problems. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
