I have to turn the key to the on positioin and let it sit for a few seconds before it will start. What possible causes would this be? Fuel filter or something more?

Truck details:

2006 Ram 1500 Lone Star Edition
4.7L

It is probably not holding pressure in the lines. This is caused by a leaking injector but more commonly a bad check valve in the fuel pump. There is no serviceable fuel filter.

I have just bought a 2013 5.7 and for some reason when filling the tank the filler will only stay on for a short time before I hear the fuel come up

Good news we're fixing your recalled HPFP! Bad news we broke your fuel lines in the process!
