My fuel line just before the pump was sliced/marred a bit and you could feel the air pulsating out of the spot. I did manage to remove and replace thinking yes this is it. BUT, it stalled again. So I checked all the fuel lines that I could see without lifting the coach and they read SAE 30R7. By Goodyear, installed by Cinnabar. I saw no leaks. However, my inline filter by the tanks was looking weak, the hoses were barely pulsating. I jumped in the coach and switched the tanks to non main tank and I saw gas moving through the filter much better. The lines were also pulsating pretty good everywhere accept behind the in line filter. I have an secondary fuel pump by the tanks. Anyways, the coach didn't stall out as quick but since the tank was low on gas I switched back to the main tank and boom stall within 10 seconds. Any ideas on issue(s)? The fuel selector switch was new in 2006. Thanks community!
I had new lines and the were the good ones. I put a little (I mean very little) pressure at the filler, with a compressor. I plugged the selector valve hose. We could hear air hissing somewhere by the front tank. Of course this meant dropping it yet again.
We found a hole in brand new hose. It was almost as if it had been stabbed with an ice pick. The only clue in the otherwise new, pristine, hose was a tiny bit of white lacing that holds the outer body of the high pressure hoes.
Replaced that piece, from the AUX tank to the selector valve and all has been well. I have thought about that several times since. Was it damaged during shipping? Who knows. Something punctured a new hose. Because there is suction in the before pump line, air can be introduced, causing stall.
