Changed Fuel Filter and Now Won't Start
OK, so I screwed up: 330HP C7 Diesel Cat engine, changed the single fuel filter and didn't pre-fill, didn't go through the prime sequence. Started normally, ran for 30 seconds or so then died. ...

If all else fails...and only if Brett's tip does not start it.
I watched a CAT tech start one by...
A) key on until "wait to start light" is out, wait one more minute with key still on for preheat grid to cool.
B) spray WD40 in the air filter intake with air filter removed (not in a dusty area) while cranking engine. Make sure it is atomizing well, not spraying a stream
C) shut down immediately after quick smooth run (air is purged)
DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF HIGHLY FLAMMABLE SPRAY !!!! ONLY WD40 !!!
It works I saw it and I would rather do this than a tow with the attending risk of body damage etc.
TRY BRETT'S (wolfe10) procedure first!!!
