Hi All,

I got the Onan running good today on a external fuel source.

After blowing out the line with light pressure and the fuel cap removed, I replace the broken clear plastic line, vacuumed up a little fuel, and hooked the coach fuel lines back up.

The amount of fuel I was able to pull was a bit light. I pushed a little fuel back through it with light air pressure and pulled it back down. Helped a little.

But, after the onan empties the pump and carb bowl it spits and sputters-can’t pull enough gas to keep running. It runs fine without the pump and friction fed fuel from above, and with the pump sucking fuel from a gas can.

Fuel lines look good underneath, don’t look that old. The back fuel tank looks to be leaking a fair bit, I can’t tell from where. Top drivers side corner is wet on the bottom.

Any tips from the brain trust for the next day I fiddle with the coach on the fueling the onan front?

Luke
