80 bird with 3208 cat keeps stalling - PLEASE help

[Adria Haynes]

Yup, the Racor also seems to have suction. What you are saying
makes sense to back flush the line. I'm just wondering how much
pressure is "low" and how long do I give it the shot?

How much algae solution should I add?

Anybody have any thoughts as to that other situation that seemed
similar? The text from that link I mentioned is as follows below.

Don't get me wrong, I totally trust all of your shared expertises
and I'm all over the algae situation, but I might as well cover as
many bases and options as I can while I'm at it.

"Line for fuel: I have an 81 35 fc that has seen some rough days but
slowly I'm going over different things. All new water lines this
season. But the one thing that was a real nite mare was the fuel
problems. I got stranded in the middle of a Big Bend in Texas. The
coach acted like it was out of fuel tho the guage ,which was always
correct, said I still had a half tank.The closest garage said they
would show up for three grand. I had my tow along and with a few
trips was able to dumped in about 15 gallons and after that never
let the tank get below half and made it home fine. I found out that
the older coaches had 3/4" black pipe for the fuel pick up and that
they can rust and get holes in them. The solution was to solder 1/4"
copper line onto the end of the elbow that enters the tank. I cut
these about 1" short of the bottom of the tank and put them inside
of the old black pipe. Now if I could find someone to repaint my
bird. The one bid I got so far was a little under ten grand. Ouch!
