Fuel Pump Leak - 12.5 K Perkins Generator

[Andy Coleman]

Dear Friends:

On my roadtrip last summer, I discovered a fuel leak under my 12.5K
Perkins gen set. I traced the leak to the fuel pump on the geny.

There must be positive fuel pressure, because the leak developed with
the generator off! I'm not sure how much fuel I lost, but I plugged
the line, and have not used the generator since.

I actually bought a little Honda 2,000 watt generator that I have been
using to charge up the batteries - it even heats the water in my hot
water heater. And it hardly uses any fuel!

I'm hoping to replace the Perkins/Kohler fuel pump in the next few
weeks. I'm driving my coach to Punxsutawney, PA for Ground Hogs' Day.

I contacted Nixon Power Systems and provided them with the numbers on
the Geny. However, they are still having trouble identifying what
generator I have.

Might anybody know the part #s for the Perkins/Kohler fuel pump?

Also, might anybody know where I could get a copy of an owners or
parts manual for the geny? I bought my coach with a full box of
Bluebird documents, however, it included nothing for the generator.

Thanks everyone! Anybody else going to Punxsutawney?
