Changed oil, filters etc a couple weeks ago and everything checked good (no leaks and engine ran fine). Couldn't get the air dryer filter (brakes) off so ordered the right size filter wrench to remove the dryer filter. Replaced it today and started up to air up the system and check for air leaks. Engine ran for 20 seconds then shout off. Now it won't start at all. Turned the key on and went back to listen to the fuel pump. The pump is running but doesn't seem like it is as loud as it use to be. Engine turns over great just no start. Not even sure exactly where the pump is. Looks like it might be on the right side of the block looking towards the back of the engine. Tried feeling everything to see if I could feel it but no joy. The coach is a 04 Camelot with the 350 ISC engine. Has about 95K miles on it. The engine has been problem free to this point. Do all the maintenance myself and am pretty handy but this one has me stumped. Not much of a diesel mech. Any help on what to check will be greatly appreciated. Leaving town Monday for a week so won't be able to get back to it until next week. TIA. Don Genesse

Well I came back from our trip to buy a house in Kentucky. We found a nice house that meets our needs and negotiated a fair price and as soon as I sell my house in SWF we will move. Back to the subject. I took off the primary filter and it looked like there had been no fuel in it. I put some fuel in it and the water separator was leaking. I removed the water separator cleaned it, lubed the o ring, put it back together, filled it up with fuel and turned the key on to let the pump move fuel to the filters. After doing that 3 times with plenty of time between pump runs. It stated right up. Let it run for a awhile then shut it down. Waited a half hour then started right up again. Not sure why the fuel wasn't getting there because after the oil change it started up and ran for 10 to 15 minutes. Thanks to all for all your info.

Ben,

The problem has been fixed. I believe it was a loose water separator that I never saw it leaked until I was going to change it and noticed there was no fuel in the filter except in the water separator. After cleaning the separator and filing it with fuel and running the pump a couple times it started right up. Started it several times and it started every time. I'm letting it set for a few days ad will start it again. Thanks for your input.
