Bulk Oil Fill - Howard O. Truitt - 08-22-2007 02:09 On my 86 PT40 there is a bulk oil fill tank. I have a drawing showing a 6 pin connector. Anyone know where this connector is located. Also there are three speakers on top of the bus what goes to each speaker. Only the one on the drivers side works [musical horn] and the volumn from it is low. Is there a volumn control for these speakers. Thanks, Howard Truitt Camilla, Ga. 86 PT40 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Bulk Oil Fill - Rob Robinson - 08-22-2007 02:35 My musical horns have two speakers on the roof and a volume control located next to my left knee On 22/08/07, Howard O.

The middle speaker on your roof is the external P.A. that operates through the original hand-held CB handset. The other two speakers (the outboard ones) are for the musical horn. The driver's side horn plays treble, the passenger side plays bass. These speakers often go bad from age (they have all been bad on both 'Birds I have owned) and get very quiet or quit altogether. I suspect this is your problem. There was no volume control on the '86-vintage horns. The good news is that the speakers are easily replaced. A common P.A. horn available at Radio Shack for about $40 is a direct replacement. I would be willing to bet if you replace them, your horn will work. If that doesn't solve the problem, the brain for the horn is a black metal box located behind the panel in front of the co-pilot seat. Pull it our and ship it to Doug down at PMMI, he will fix it for you. And as long as you are sending it, go ahead and send him a new song list with the songs you like (you can print tne list from the PMMI web site) and he'll reprogram it for you for a small fee. My horn is loud & proud, playing the songs I chose. A musical horn is a silly item in the big scheme of things, but if my 'Bird has a feature, I want it to work.

Truitt - 08-23-2007 00:46 Scott, I spliced into the wires from the black box and connected to a speaker and the musical horn worked fine. I'm the same as you if it has a feature I want it to work. I just got a new timer for the coffee maker even though my wife says she will use her Mr. Coffee.

Open the side panel of the coach so you can look directly at the bulk oil fill tank from the passenger side. The connector should be roughly in the middle of the thing, maybe a bit to the right, and slightly behind it. Mine is on a bracket welded to the tank if memory recalls. I believe this is a connection to a solenoid (you should see it right in there, too) that opens a valve to push air into the bulk oil tank when energized by the oil fill switch, thus forcing oil out the nozzle. Hope this helps. -Ryan '86 PT-40 8V92 Tri-Cities, WA Bulk Oil Fill - Howard O. Truitt - 08-23-2007 10:48 Ryan, I have the the air solenoid and also a air pressure switch but no 6 pin connector in site.

Truitt > > I have the the air solenoid and also a air pressure switch but no 6 pin connector in site. > Howard Truitt, Camilla, Ga., 86 PT40 Just went out and looked at mine. Sure enough, I don't have a 6 pin connector. Should have looked first before opening my mouth. There's a little red light, some tubing and the solenoid & switch with a wire or two going to them. That's it. My head must have mistaken those components for the connector when I read your post. So, sounds like your coach is configured exactly as it should be. Not sure why your drawing shows a connector that neither of us have. -Ryan '86 PT-40 8V92 Tri-Cities, WA Bulk Oil Fill - Don Bradner - 12-17-2007 09:41 The bulk oil fill makes it easy to add oil to the engine. On diesel pushers it is always a bit tough to pour oil in the fills - little room for a container or funnel. The tank is easy to access and add several gallons of oil. It is air pressurized (switch turned on pressurizes it), and there is a fill nozzle with valve on a hose, along with a rotary counter that tells you how much you are dispensing.

If you can't eat it, it can't be all that great. ;-) I'm no nutrition expert or anything, but the bulk oil fill doesn't look all that tasty to me.
