Why is my Chevy Duramax losing its prime pump?

Probably from your prime pump or if you ever had the dealer change the filter….could have had the “filter gorilla” put it on and crack the housing. How does your water in fuel sensor look? There could be a hairline crack in that causing your problem too and not dripping on the ground.

Why is my fuel filter stuck on my Duramax?

I have replace the fuel filter twice, once with an after-market and now back to the OEM filter. I have replace the water sensor at the bottom of the fuel filter. I have been told that it might be my fuel pump which has a one-way flow valve that has become stuck allowing fuel to flow back to the tank. I’m out of ideas.
