My plans the other day of starting it got interrupted. All work is complete on the bottom including the new holding tanks. Carpet upfront done. Corian kitchen countertop with undermount sink was delivered today to complete kitchen except faucet. Frig complete. Linda's custom mattress to come tomorrow. 40 gal water tank secured in place. Coming up on 3 AM. Test drive in a few hours.Bob Dunahugh78 Royale.

If the fuel is older than few years, don't run it as the fuel has turned to
varnish and when it hits the intake valve, the valve will hang up and
you'll bend the pushrods and destroy the engine.
Many good engines have been destroyed this way
Better to be safe than sorry.
I see this at least every other month.

One can always hook up a hose to the can at the pump and run new fuel.
Suggest you get Tier one fuel Super, as it has additional additives that
will help remove the gum, then empty the tank and put in regular grade.

Got up at 7AM. Moved things back, and put the GMC on the ground. Drove it out to the other shop to weld some of the aluminum body frame around the widened door, and narrowed dinette window frame. Now today I need to narrow the window itself by 7 1/2 inches. Fashion Par kitchens delivered the Corian countertop with undermount sink last night about 9;30 PM. Picked up Linda's custom mattress on the way back home. Need to have Linda check this all out. The GMC ran the 23 mile trip perfictly. As to the fuel, and brake systems. Everything was replaced.Bob Dunahugh78 Royale.
