Hello, I just changed my fuel pump & filter and the van was not getting fuel. I checked and discovered that the pump was not getting power. I jumped the pump and I heard the pump operating. During the jump, I disconneted the main filter output to see if gas will come out and it was just air, not gas. Any advise will be appreciated. God Bless!

Test the auto shut down relay and fuel pump relay to include the PTC 1 9amp.

Hello, Thanks for the lightning quick answer. Where exactly is the PTC 1 9amp? I have located the other relays. I am still confused why when direct power is applied to the fuel pump, gas would not pump out. There are quite a few fuel lines. Could there be an configuration problem?

PTC 1 9amp is in the junction block-see below

Verify the fuel hose fuel return and pressure feed side if okay check the fuel pump you might hear it coming on but not producing pressure-check it

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
