Hi,

    I have a 2002 F-350 with dual tanks and a powerstroke deisel truck... I
ordered this truck from the factory and it has been kind of tough starting
ever since I got it right out of the box. What happens is after the truck
sits for any longer than 4 days or so, the fuel drains back into the tank
and as a result it has to turn over a Gazillion times before it will
start... I have a command start on the truck and the command start will
sometimes just give up turning ove this truck... Where should I look to find
an air leak or has anybody else hed this same problem?...thanks....Jim

Most likely it's the "plastic" switch over valve that switches from
one tank to the other. :-(
