Priming is easy: Take the mattress off the bed and move it into the hallway/front room; raise the bed platform; take a 17mm crow's foot wrench and and crack (loosen) two injection tube nuts. Now go outside and crawl underneath and sit up next to the (6"?) exhaust pipe; reach over the hot pipe and push the prime button -official Cummins instructions: "at least 75 times"- which will leak fuel out of loose nuts. Now run back inside and start the engine.
(If it doesn't start re-prime with more than 75 plunges) When it starts it will, of course, be leaking fuel out of the loosened nuts, so run back to the bedrom, push fire extinguisher with wife attached out of the way, climb on the idling engine and tighten up the loose nuts, praying it doesn't flash into a full blown fire.
Wonder why GS doesn't pay for priming?
Wonder why EVERYONE doesn't have a DIESEL??

It sounds like you would need to pay a pro Cool or you could just put fuel in it. Hey, There's a thought!

Priming is easy. It's like anything you do in life. Do it enough and it's easy, 2 minutes max! No fuel leaks. Razzer

Hey, even better, you get diesel fuel on you, which is in fact El Essence del Hombres muy Machos.

Or, one could put some diesel in the fuel filter and crank 'er up - most engines self-bleed....

In either case the idea is quite staggering.
