After getting the power steering fixed on the 560 I took it for a joy ride, only to die 30 feet from the shop. Short story is no fuel due to using a dirty fuel can. Removed and cleaned the sediment bowl, turned on valve with sediment bowl off and still no fuel. Removed valve and found it packed with small feathers. Reassembled and no fuel flow until I opened the filter bleeders (diesel).

The shutoff valve between the sediment bowl and tank operates very difficultly now, and I suspect I'm not getting it all the way open. The opening is probably small enough and the diesel just viscious enough to keep the air from passing back from the sediment bowl thru the valve to the tank. Possibly you have something similar and possibly I'm way off base!

(I've omitted the parts about first pouring in 5 gal of fuel thinking I'd run out, wondering if the fuel gauge float was blocking the opening, reassembling without fulling cleaning the valve, discovering the hard way the fuel pump return line has a check valve at the tank, .....)
