    I have a 2012 Volvo 780 D-13 Shut it down for two days to repair water leak then it would not start after that. Always been like that, shut down for a day or two and it refuses to start. Tried to Prima it and while doing so notice leak at the plug at the base of the primer. Bought and installed a new fuel filter housing, hook all the lines back up, filled up fuel filters before installing them, primed it 100 times, ok maybe 40 it was a little stubborn but it finally fired up. About $450 in parts and 6 hours labor, no problem. Key note, make sure you replace all new washers or you will end up with leaks in the future.

    I had driven the same route for two months with an 07 Volvo auto. One day in traffic it just quit. Waited 5 minutes and it fired. 2 miles later same thing. Then it never happened again. Strange trucks.
