Yup, all bets are off when you said some DUMB A** thought he knew how to run veggie.

After those easy things listed above, switches and coolant tank, I'd be really suspicious that veggie is plugged up in it, and whatever fuel pressure you were generating was bypassing or not getting through.

Others are smarter than me on this topic, but maybe open a fuel line to an easy to reach injector and then hook up the garden sprayer as noted in Pete's priming directions and see if you get some fuel?

(Great job on that write up Pete, I wouldn't change a word)

Will diesel act as a sufficient solvent on veggie sludge, or will more extensive cleaning be required?

happy coaching!

Second what RTS said about rear start. One more thing, I had a problem with the rear start switch. I toggled it down to rear start to work on some other problem. Solved it, returned the rear start to the run position, and dang thing would not turn over from the ignition key. Turns out these switches are so seldom used that simply going from run to rear and back can actually lose the electrical connection to start from the ignition key. Cheap but possibly temporary solution for me was to vigoriously exercise the toggle going from run to rear and back severasl times very fast. Kinda like, Take That, Take That ... You get the point.

As for the veggie oil, never tried it don't plan on doing it. Heck, I have not even tried bio and am not thinking on doing that either.

Good luck in running down your problem - or the PO!

Time to re-group a little  - 3 strings going about the same problem

Let's keep Wayne "NO START" problem in the   "...Check Engine Light location.... "   string

let this string die 

CONDITIONS  - I forgot he said he has 10-30 PSI at the secondary filter gauge - That's fine - he's primed and not air bound

But

Here's the problem so far:

#1 -  DDEC-II - with no power on the INJECTOR CONNECTOR PINS A&B / E&F - this feeds BOTH banks of injectors

#2 - No CEL (CHK ENGINE LITE) double blink when bus turns on - probably related to #1 - but INJECTOR POWER IS USUALLY DIRECT FROM BATTERY NOT IGNITION

#2 - so Wayne needs to also check DDEC Ign Power to Pin B3 on J2 connector -  sent Wayne the diagrams and pinouts for him to check

ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE DDEC GOES COMES FROM ON A ** GILLIG
