Ran out of diesel..How do i restart?
Replaced and refilled both new FFs before attempting to start. C7 ran fine then choppy then shutdown and can't restart. Tried to restart 4 times and almost ran but not starting. Should I use ether ...

C7 cat engines use a hydraulic unit injection system that uses high pressure oil (up to 4000 psi) to actuate the injectors. if the high pressure pump fails the engine will not run also if the engine runs low on oil and the oil pump stars sucking air the engine will not run so check the oil level. usually a problem with the high pressure oil system will bring on a check engine light and log a fault
if your unit has a primer pump the posts about pumping until it is hard to pump are correct. if it does not prime there are two check valves in the base of the primer pump that have been known to fail. if it does not have a primer I would get one installed. these engines usually start fairy quick once they get fuel pressure
this advise may or may not be worth what you pay for it
