BTW, I just completed the DPF delete and I printed your tread and had it with me. Fantastic and helpful post.
Uh. Yes, that makes sense. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a job that activates the fuel pump, but it seems to be activated as soon as you switch on ignition. Rheingold mentions to leave the ignition on for 1 minute before starting the car (see attached doc). That's what I did, too. Maybe, I didn't quite wait long enough.
