i changes my fuel filters today. after i primed the truck over and over agian. its starts i pull it out of my garage letting it idle for a little. then dies cant get it to start all fuses are ok. turns over. acts like its not getting fuel. i even took the top fuel filter off and put gas in it try to get it going to go. fuel pump seems that it is running b/c i can hear it. also tried loosining the caps and tighting them to see if it was too tight and crushed the gasket. i dont know. please and thank you.

please help the truck is a 2005 f250 superduty 6.0

make sure the cap on the lower filter is tight , seen them suck air before

Try cycling the key on and off several times just to be sure the air is purged.

Caps on the filters are tight? Orings seated? filters installed correctly? Double check all of the above. If it ran fine before you changed the filters, its either one of the above or you got the wrong filters
