You may have picked up junk from the tank or you have air in the line, How was your filter.

Replace the filter, Add Sea Foam and start. then run the crap out of it.
If there is air in the line it will do the same thing.

your advice worked like magic! i removed the little purging valve which had some trash in it causing it to leak and not seal well. after installing it the truck started up and runs better than ever. thank you so very much.
