Tom, are you using fuel from both tanks? You may be successful if you try
drawing from only one tank. If filter stops up, put a new filter on and
try drawing from the other tank.

The problem with the coach we bought in Springfield MO is resolved but now
we have another issue

The shop that replaced the fuel pump also replaced the filter (standard can
inline filter) We got
about 350 miles and started to slowly get the symtoms of fuel starvation to
the point that we could
only go 30 mph going up hills so I had to replace the filter.

That filter only lasted about 50~60 miles before we started to get the same
symtoms. We made it safely to the KOA in
Paducah and I have spare filters however we have another 800 miles to go.

My question is there anything that will break up the junk that is cloging
the filters?
I think I know the answer but I am not a pro so I have to ask.

I am going to call the local Blacklister tomorrow for a reference to a
good local shop, to late to bother someone tonight.
We are safe and warm so it can wait until morning.

The final analysis of the earlier issue seems to be the isolator failed
open to the chassis battery when the PO still owned the coach
and the alternator boiled the house battery dry and then self-destructed.
The chassis battery ran everything for the 35 miles we got from
when we picked it up. The low voltage (or just age) caused the electric
fuel pump (17 years old) to cease moving enough fuel. And the inline fuel
filter
was clogged after 17 years.
