Check around your filter, make sure nothing got loose to where you are sucking air. Also did it throw any codes?

Maxwell.Riddle · 12-11-2012, 12:20 PM

If you take the screw out, pump the bulb till diesel a little diesel comes out, screw the screw back in and pump the bulb till it gets hard to keep pumping....If it never gets to where its hard to pump my guess would be your leaking diesel out somewhere....

If it happens to be a new purchase from adp give them a call. There have been issues w/the new cat adapters that they sent out.

so you managed to run it on the cat filter for a day or so before this occurred? I wouldnt throw away the cat filter just yet. Put it back on. Make sure that you bleed the filter with the bleed screw. (Loosen, pump til you see diesel, tighten) make sure all connections are good and tight, see what happens.

If a diesel engine wont run, it's a fuel problem. (Ok...barring a rod sticking out of the block)
