CAT DIESEL WILL NOT HOLD PRIME
I have a 1989 Elite Coach with a CAT diesel pusher. Believe it is a 3208. After it sits a couple of days, i have to use hand pump to prime. Since I am an old goat with a bad shoulder, this makes it...

1. IMO the 3208 one of the best motors made.
2. Probably sucking a little air somewhere. Nothing big, just enough to loose prime. Do you see any drops of fuel anywhere after being parked so long? Maybe a fuel connection little bit damp with diesel, if so that is good place to start. Then after the obvious it gets harder to find. Could be nothing more than small crack in rubber gasket in fuel filter. Or injector acting up. Tackle small stuff first.
