FUEL TANK VENT

[marvjeanm380]

Leroy:

Do you think it is possible that water had gotten into the vent and frozen?
After being in warmer weather I would give it another try.

Interesting to say the least with 3 inches of ice on the roads.

filters, the Webasto filter and the nozzle. I also cleaned the burn chamber. I
started the bus and it ran for about 5 minutes and shut down. It ran out of
fuel. I opened the Racor and looked inside the secondary fuel filter and empty.
Weird. I then thought alge. I disconnected the inlet fuel line to the Racor and
blew air to the fuel tank. The tank made a stress noise so I quit. Opened the
fill cap and massive amounts of air escaped. I left the fill cap off, primed the
engine, and ran it for an hour no issues. Found a broken fuel line on the
Webasto. Tomorrows project.

Not on my drawings.
