[C38] fuel problem

[jessup1 at att.net]

Start with the fuel tank pick up
Tube. If it is gummed up you won't go anywhere. We had 
Similar run issues that led to
Cleaning the tank after bleeding,
Fuel pump replacement etc.

Fortunately I had 5 gallons of diesel.  This addition hasn't led to her starting.  I unscrewed the air bleeds to the cylinder.  No fuel.  The fuel pump makes noise so I assume she works.  I removed the top of the fuel filter.............canister was low.  Turning on the accessory switch filled the fuel filter but fuel still doesn't get to the air bleeds at the cylinders.
