On my ay back from Mansfield Ohio I had a problem I can not explain. I had installed an electric fuel pump to operate when I switch to the back up tank. It worked for a while when needed and I used it to get fuel pressure before I started the engine. I lost the mechanical fuel pump on the way back. I switched to the electric fuel pump and no pressure. I assume the valve to switch tanks quit.
I turned one the electric fuel pump and gas came out of the carbon canister. I dead headed the line going to the canister as it leagued gas. So why would gas from the fuel pump that was dead headed if the valve to switch tanks did not work. How did it pump gas out of the carbon canister?
I will switch to two electric fuel pumps with check valves if front of the electric fuel pumps. The fuel pumps will not be in the tanks. The fuel pumps will be mounted just before where the valve to switch the tanks is located.
I’ll remove the mechanical pump.
I’d like to know why the canister dumped gas? Could I have something wrong? Could a dead headed electric pump pressurize the tanks? I did not think that could happen.
To get gas to prime the engine the electric pumps was used to get gas into a bottle so I know the pump worked.
I checked the electric pump after getting homeland it is not producing any fuel pressure.
This makes the third mechanical pump I’ve replaced in about 30,000 miles. The pump installed were what I could find close to where it quit. Not the best pumps.
Thanks
Art

You have to have a hose connected incorrectly. If I remember correctly the 2 vent lines that go to the separater valve in the left fender rear well come off of the top of the tanks atre teed together and should not be able to get liquid into them unless the tanks are filled to the very tippy top or the vehicle is facing down or up hill.
Also that fuel separator is mounted high and is suppose to shutoff if liquid gets to it.

One must double check these things befor e going on the road. We know about
that as we have done things wrong here and had to redo.

Thanks all’
My tank was not full when the fuel pump pushed gas put of the canister. If the electric pump was not on no gas came out of the canister. The electric fuel pump was pushing gas out of the canister. The fuel pump had worked and would provide fuel pressure before it stopped putting pressure.
Where can I get a complete drawing of the fuel system … including all vents.

One possible scenario: the selector valve’s output is blocked in the Aux
position, but the valve leaves the inputs open to one another. The electric
pump fills the main tank, and overflows it into the vent tube. The
separator valve (which is just a floating ball against a donut seal) is
overwhelmed, and it pumps out through the canister.
With two electric pumps, the check valves prevent this. But you have no
check valve between the selector valve and the main tank.
I’m trying to imagine how the selector valve could plug the output and
connect the inputs, and maybe it’s not possible. But it would explain the
symptoms.
Misrouted plumbing seems likelier, though.

Kind of like wiring a 3 way light switches setup at home. If wrong, you can get the light to come on in certain combinations, but it's still wrong.

Here's how I did it. Your mileage may vary. Identify each line off the tanks as vent or supply lines. Then the pics show. Since there's two of them, the reliability of the Mr Gasket pump seems fine but redundancy is the plus. The Mr. Gasket pumps have check valves, so you can tee the outpuls.

Worked fine when I sold the coach, I suspect they still are. CAVEAT - the supplied filters tend to develop leaks at the crimps. Discard them and purchase the Wix duplicate. Plug the selector. This uses all existing wiring and hoses, plus one fused ignition lead with 'turnover' safety

Looking at your electric fuel pump installation the pump layout appears to be just fine. You are NOT going to want that relay and the crimped on wiring connectors under the coach where is can get wet and the wiring corrode and it WILL fail sometime in the future. You need to consider moving the relay and wiring into a weather proof enclosure or area that does not get wet. Also, do you have a LOPSD switch in series with power to the fuel pumps?
I have included a album of the all electric fuel system I installed in 2002. You may find it interesting.

Thanks all.
I assume some how when the electric fuel pump quit working some how one tank was pressurized. What gets me is the mechanical pump quit and the electric stopped working. I do not know when the electrical pump quit as it was working when I left as I pressurized the system before trying too start the RV.
When the mechanical pump quit and I turned on the electric it pumps the gas out of the carbon canister.
I have not yet tried to fix the system. My hot water heart had been leaking for a while at home. I now have a hot water heater in the middle of the dinning room as the floor in closet and reinstall the hot water heater. Once the house os back together I’ll fix the RV fuel system.
I need to check the venting system some how to make sure it is working as designed or better if there is away to vent the system.

I would not think of an electric pump as a backup for a mechanical pump
except in cases of vapor lock, or for brief priming on startup.
If the mechanical pump quits working, you must understand why. If it is a
failed diaphragm, you absolutely do not want to run an electric pump—it
will fill the crankcase with gasoline.
It seems to me likely that whatever led to the conclusion that the
mechanical pump failed is also the cause of the other problems. It could be
a plugged filter or tank sock, or a faulty selector valve, or whatever. Fix
that first.

That’s for the comment. The removed fuel pump seemed to have a bad pressure regulator. Everything worked after the pump was replaced except the electric fuel pump as to suppling fuel to the motor.
