Check the flow from the tank. There might be something floating around in the tank the will intermittently block the flow. Also check the fuel tank cap that the vent is working.

its possible some crud has been loosened in the tank and this has now blocked outlet strainer. did you clean the tank. also have you serviced the lift pump.
clean the tank and try again. maybe the fuel tap has vibrated closed check the tap gland it might need fresh packing.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

That's on a Gen Set. right? Is the fuel being lifted from a skid mounted tank? Check for air leak in the lift piping. Is there a check valve in the piping? If you suspect compression leaking into the injector overflow line disconnect the line and hook up to a hose in a bucket of fuel to see if there are air bubbles when running.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
