Ken Burton wrote on Fri, 20 October 2017 00:31Well Here is a similar one for you on this coach we are trying to get running. It will not pump gas from the tanks. I found it yesterday. It is a broken steel line underneath the a hold down clamp on the cross member near the fuel pump. It is rusted and cracked under the clamp. So it leaks air there. Because it is on the input side of the pump, (negative pressure there) it never leaks gas, it just leaks air.
*****
Thanks Ken
At this point, I am all rubber from the solenoid valve up forward and up to the mechanical pump on the engine. The metal line in front is bypassed.
As I don't see any metal line in back by the tanks I am guessing you are talking about that front metal line.
Now if I am right and you refer to the front metal line, let me just say that it can't be cracked or when the aux pump (located by the fuel valve solenoid in the rear) is on, and the line pressurizes, I'd have a leak, wouldn't I???? I was not leaking any fuel anywhere.. Nor did I have any gas smell. The old hose and metal line is now bypassed with new rubber hose...
If the weather stays decent, I may go under and look again around the area by the tanks.. all of that hosing is new as well.
The only hose that is not new, changed in 2007, is the hose above the tanks.
If I am missing anything feel free to make me aware of it....
Thanks for the help.
