Electric Fuel Pump - dspithaler@... - 04-24-2005 02:56 Bill Did you take I-75 the whole way to MI or did you take I-85 & I-77 north of Atalanta GA. We were at the Birds nest last week & came up through I-77 on Wed. South of Fort Chriswell VA is where mine slowed down on a long grade & the pyrometer went to1150 but it cooled down when we over the top. I think I was only running about 35 mi per at the top. I'm not sure where fuel pump is located either. Don Butler, PA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Electric Fuel Pump - pattypape - 04-24-2005 06:08 We had a fuel problem, We did not notice the fuel vaccuum gage in the red. We had only about 3000 miles on the fuel filters. The Bird died on I75 just north of Macon, Georgia. We had just spent the day at the Bird's Nest. We either had some bad fuel or we really stirred up the gunk at the bottom of the tank. We do not know how much use this Bird had the previous couple of years. The fuel tank does not have a low area to drain contaminated fuel, It has a drain plug at one bottom corner of the tank. Thanks to all of the Forums' advice, we had spare filters. After adjusting to that sinking "Dead Bird" feeling, we went to work changed filters, and returned to Michigan. We do not have a manual fuel primer pump, we have an electric fuel pump. This made the fuel priming quick and easy. The pump is located in the rear near the fuel tank, I can hear it running above and behind the propane tank. Our question is: Where is it located? Who is the manufacturer? How is it repaired or replaced?? It seems to be located between the top of the fuel tank and under floor deck. We can not see or feel it with our hand, It is in a really tight location. We do not want to have that Dead Bird feeling again if the fuel pump dies. We think it wise to carry a spare electric fuel pump. Thanks Again, Bill 88 FC Michigan Electric Fuel Pump - Jeff Miller - 04-24-2005 07:17 The original fuel pump on my '88 FC was top-center of the tank, just forward of the tank, pretty much directly above the low-fuel and water-in-fuel sensors. - Jeff Miller http://www.wanderlodge.net http://www.millercoachworks.com --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, dspithaler@a... wrote: > Bill Did you take I-75 the whole way to MI or did you take I-85 & I-77 > north of Atalanta GA.

I drove I 75 and was at the Birds Nest 4/4 & 4/5. So it was me and the 7 lbs Yorkie to deal with the dead bird. It was good that Patty was not with us. We then made another trip to Pittsburgh to see the relatives, this past week. We were sorry, we missed seeing you at the Dinnerbell truck garage. We started for Michigan again about one hour before you arrived. See Ya next trip.

Next time I have the jack stands out, I will take a quick peak.

I installed a new one today, bled the injectors to purge air runs like a new one. I may have had one of those one out of 500? Thanks again. |
