[C38] fuel problem

[dickkilroy at comcast.net]

Patrick: As others have said be aware of the small filter in the Facet fuel pump, it can plug very easily. Depending on how your system is set up it can really hurt. I changed to a Sherwood pump, higher flow, no filter. The facet shaft can also ware easily and cause leaking.

Any other thoughts?

100 yards from slip "Blue Eyes" engine sputtered then quit.  I started her 3 time and she lasted about 30 second. My mate wisely said,"Is she out of fuel?" Gauge was on "E."  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. 
Any thoughts?
