Check fuel tank for sludge
Replace fuel filter
Any other thoughts?

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.
