How can I tell if my fuel pump is weak?

What should I do if my engine won’t start?
Not sure if your truck uses one though. But if it does, and it is part of a fuel return system which returns unneeded fuel rail fuel back to the tank, ask your mechanic to remove the vacuum hose connected to it (which goes to the intake manifold) and check for any fuel inside. There shouldn’t be any.
