Leaking fitting on gen. fuel filter
You got air into the system and lost your prime. Your genset shut down because
it began sucking air and that is indicated by your lack of fuel being in the
filter.

bucket underneath). Do I have to drain the fuel tank to remove that hose? Is
there a shut-off from the main tank?
