Coming back from Newna yeasterday I ran into a problem. I was cruising up I 85 at ~~65 per on cruise control, Junkerac running perfectly, and the roof A/C plus the chassis A/C keeping it bearable in the coach. I then had to get off in Atlanta and do city streets in traffic for about 15 minutes. Six lanes on 85 - 75 closed in the center of town for an accident.
Anyhow, watched the temp, no rise. Genset kept on chugging. Back on I 85, and another 45 minutes up to my get-off. And when I turned off the freeway ramp, I got a flat spot on the throttle, which quickly went away and we proceeded. 55MPH on a country highway, with ups and downs. Sometime in this 6 mile segment, the Junkerac quit. I didn't notice exactly when, I just looked in the mirror a mile from the house at a light and the RUN light was out, roof A/C stopped. That close to home, not a propblem. But, coming off the light, it wanted to die and then picked up again. Drove it to the house - a mile - without problems, all about 45 per on country roads. When I got home, showing half full on the main guage, so it would have been a quarter off full when I left to head home (down and back starting full). I cracked the fuel filler, incredible presure in the tanks. So, did I get the tanks hot in town? Is there a vent which opens at
half full? Would hot fuel screw up the genset running? Genset has a 'block' pump feeding it, and I believe an MGM instrall - at any rate it's installed properly with a nice fan in the door which pressurizes the generator bay. Sitting still, cooling has never been a problem.
Assuming I'm boiling what passes for gas around here ('summer blend") what's the heal? Never slow down? More shielding? I dunno what's under there, haven't looked closely. But I weill be looking in the next couple of days, and insulating/rerouting as necessaery. If it packs it in on the freeway, I have a problem. I've a coated dog in there. Most sumaritans aren't interested in giving a lift to the guy with the curly white behemopth on the lead.
