nasties in the fuel tank
That's what I want to do, drive to FL after a late nite fuel system thrash. Get
your pump inlet sight glass ready.

New fuel sender really expensive parker-hannifin fittings and flex tank to edge of tank added new fuel pump and will break fuel line farther ahead to add racor 500fg Funny thing after all these years nobody noticed that the racors are all installed incorrectly according to racor should be on suction side of rear push pump Reason upstream if water in fuel filter will catch it. Downstream after pump action of pump will emulsify water into fuel making it harder for filter to seperate it out That is straight from racor tech support on october 3 Seems that everyone bluebird included was worried about lumps but not water in fuel but down side of installing in rear of coach makes it a #$%^% to service filter. Also adding 2 vents ala Jeff Miller to try and stop the burps when fueling. using extra taps in tank and installing 2 seperate 1/2 lines to level of fuel filler Cleaning and re-undercoating frame and tanks oops undercoating for first time never was behind tank inside frame If anyone is interested in 110 Gallons of dirty fuel let me know we were going to make 2 molotov cocktails but too heavy to throw maybe just 2 55 gallon garden lights Trying to get this mess and all the other projects together for rats Stephen 77fc35 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
