At the last stretch here for initial start and want to make sure I can get fuel to the rail.

-I have LP fuel pump and HP pump with the one way valve and the BC accumulater and BC tank (pre in-tank efi pump).

-What is the best way to prime the system for initial startup?

Thanks, BI

Cycle the key a half dozen times, pause a few seconds between.
Gauge hooked up will tell you when its good

There is one wire in the EEC test plug that if you ground it I think, it will run the fuel pump full time. I don't remember which one....but you can probably find the answer on sbftech.com in Joel's forum.

If you are not getting fuel bump the schrader valve a few times with the pump running - I couldn't get fuel when I first tried firing my motor.
