Break Down Description: Bought 7yr old dp from boat dealer as is. It had sat at FL marina for 2 yrs. Fuel gauge read empty so the sales man got a jerry can from his shop and I got ten gals of diesel from the marina. Drained the fuel/water sep iaw coach label. motor would no longer run. Called mech and he tried to help over phone but was not able to get out for 2 days, mfgr also very helpful. Back to trouble shooting 101. "When something doesn't work- what was the last thing I touched."
Symptoms:Engine would not start.
Effect: Learned how fuel system works.
Cause:Air getting into lines at water sep drain. felt tightened but was previously cross threaded and very hard to turn.
Outcome:New water sep filter and plastic bowl when I got it home.
