I have an '01 GMC 2500HD 8.1L and I think my fuel pump might be taking a dump on me...
If the vehicle sits 10+ minutes you have to crank on it for 5-10 seconds before it will start, the fuel system primes when you turn the key on but I believe the check valve in the pump is going out and fuel is leaching back into the gas tank. Please help before I go drop $300 on a new pump.

sounds more like a fuel pressure regulator located on the drivers side on the fuel rail little chrome mushroom looking thing with a vacuum hose going to it pull the hose if you see any fuel and i mean even moisture change the regultor. trust me it is very very common

How about checking the fuel press. first, pinch off the return line if you suspect the regulator, this will test the pump pressure only. 58 psi. min.
