2000 V10 Triton will not start

[wmtorp]

I have a 2000 National Tropical with a V10 Triton that will not start. It ran perfect the last time out....I suspect a bad fuel pump. Is it located in the fuel tank? How can I check to see if it is working....Thanks for your help!!

First check the 20amp fuel pump relay fuse located in the covered fuse block located on the front of your firewall towards the center above the radiator. If the fuse checks OK try replacing the fuel pump relay which should be the 5th relay to your right as you're facing the box.

Try that and let us know what happens,

Good luck

You should have a schrader valve in the fuel rail this allows a way to bleed air out of the fuel rail. Carefully and quickly push in on the valve a couple of times, watch yourself, if there is pressure on the system it can squirt in your face it could also cause a fire.
If you push on the valve and nothing comes out then you can suspect the fuel pump. If, however, you have fuel at the fuel rail then it could be the injectors fuse.

I am trying to help my husband with our 01 minnie winnie, V-10.

It also won't start. Does the above info also apply to that engine?

Same thing happened to me. I replaced the fuel filter, and it started right up.
