Will It Start Diesel? Cummins V8 Diesel Ford Truck

In this episode we attempt to to start up the Cummins Diesel V8 903 in the Ford semi truck. It has sat for only a bit over 12 months but still requires some checking over and some batteries. We top up the water and check the oil after fitting some batteries and then we try to start it. It eventually goes but stops again. I then discovered that even though it had fuel in the tank, it was facing downward so the fuel was away from the pickup. I put in some diesel fuel and bleed the fuel system then attempt to start it again. It eventually went again and this time stayed runner. While it was running I use it to move a semi trailer out of the way. We connected up the trailer and moved it to another location and disconnect it and park the truck. Meanwhile our White 4000 Detroit Diesel powered truck is moving the rest of the semi trailers. Come along and see how we go with it all. #tractor #diesel #cummins #truck #semitruck #detroitdiesel #dieselengine #ford #fordtrucks #louisville #abandoned #rust #restoration #truckmechanic #v8 #cumminsdiesel #transport
