Hi All, Purchased a 93 Safari MH with the 6.5L motor. I've been working on it since last Fall. The current problem I've come across is a leak at the fuel filter, seems to be on the underside. I changed the fuel filters, the stock one on the motor (the one that is leaking) and an after market filter. The after market filter has a pump on it so what I've been told is to bleed all the air out. The pump worked great. Started right up and when I was checking for leaks the motor quit?? I pulled the stock filter out and noticed the fuel bowl was empty. Seems like the lift pump isn't working? Why now after changing the fuel filter? Did I do something wrong? Also, a buddy at work gasped once I told him I ran it out of fuel! Is that bad and how to you restart it. I didn't try anything, just pulled out the key and went in to have a beer and think about it.
Three questions? Did I do something wrong when I change the filters? Has anyone experienced a leak at the fuel filter? And, is there a procedure to get this motor started after running it out of fuel?? Thanks for any help you guys can offer me.
