CAT 3126 No Start
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have not started my coach with Cat 3126 for about six months. Went to get it ready for the summer today, but the engine won't start. Batteries are good, start...

Is it possible that your primary fuel filter is plugged? The one mounted on the engine. I believe the filter with the water separator is a secondary filter although it is installed in the first position between the tank and then the engine. I would change out this primary filter and see how it goes.
The filter shouldn't be plugged, but that's one of those things you never know until you try. I have new filters here, so I'll try that tomorrow. Also, I know that my power supply wires are good, but I haven't started cleaning grounds yet. I'll also try that tomorrow.
The coach is parked in my (rented) covered storage area, on gravel, so it's a pain to get under. I do have a throw rug I can use to lie on while checking the grounds.
The fuel filter is accessible by taking off the rear cover under the bed, so I can change it from above. I just need to put a drain pan under that area so I don't stink up the storage lot with a bit of spilled diesel.
Whenever I get this problem resolved, I'll post the solution here. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions.
