Just a quick follow up on my post about buying a 73 -26' Painted Desert in
Phoenix sight unseen and driving it to the Bay Area.
Great trip. Watching the sunrise in the desert, seeing God's creation and
some of man's destruction. Left Phoenix Monday morning and arrived in Bay
area Wednesday afternoon.
Yes, the PO was untruthful and the coach misrepresented, but if you don't
expect that, you are kidding yourself. Fuel quality was a major issue with 4
carb filter changes on the road, even after I installed an inline filter.
Tire condition of several years old and less than a thousand miles proved to
be 9 years old and fronts came apart at 65 mph even thought I had inspected
them (again and again) 50 miles earlier. And the not working fan clutch
decided to freeze up after about 600 miles.
But what a road trip. Met a lot of nice people, shared my faith in the risen
Jesus with some, and fellowshipped with fellow believers with some. PTL.
But here's a question: I have an inline filter on both coaches I own with
both having a history of "dirty" tanks. And they still allow "bad" gas to
plug up the carb filter. Is there an inline filter or fuel filter system out
there I can install that filters particles small enough to keep the carb
filter from plugging up?
TIA and feel free to PM me.
