I'm new to diesel repair. I'm a certified Harley guy. My 2003 6.6 duramax started up and died within about 30 seconds. I tried to drain the filter and no fuel would come out! I need help. Any suggestions?
Not sure that the ignition has to be on for the water to drain? They don't have a factory lift pump so the ignition has nothing to do with any fuel pre cp3.
To answer your question try pumping the filter head probably 50 times then pump it while someone cranks the truck.
