A new Bluebird owner's tale of the first shakedown trip

[Curt Sprenger]

Greg,

My buddy Rod worked for the local transit authority for 30+ years. I
mentioned to him the problem with your coach. He suggested I pass this
on to you...

If fuel was added to the tank, and the fuel problem went away, only to
show up again after burning some fuel, it could be the fuel tank pick
up tube. If this is the problem and the fuel pick up tube is 1/2", Rod
suggested installing a 3/8" tube inside of the 1/2" tube. A 3/8" tube
should feed a hungry 8V92 just fine. Rod did this several times at the
transit authority while maintaining hundreds of buses.

Depending on issues with your coach, Rod is retired, a great mechanic,
and a good source for fixing lots of things. He is willing to do some
maintenance/fixing to stay somewhat busy...just can't let it interfere
with our neighborhood daily meetings...coffee in the am...beer in the
pm...Ha!

I removed the previous posts to keep the document length to a minimum.
