    Fuel Filters

    We've had our 2005 Tradition 40W for a few years. The fuel filters have not been changed by us, and maybe not changed in a while. There are two, both Luber Finer, LFF1003 and LF5488. I read different suggested change intervals....10,000 miles or every year. Every year seems overkill as we...

    27TRX fuel control panel broken

    Pretty sure the fuel control panel on my 27TRX is broken which is preventing me from turning on or off the gas pump. The lights for both on and off just stay on as well as the fill level. I have tried “rebooting” the trailer by disconnecting all ac and dc power and turning it back on. Smashing...

    Save your engine batteries by changing the fuel filters yourself.

    After seeing a MIL with a mysterious ECM code description, we headed to a Cummins service center in VA. There, it was determined that algae had accumulated on our fuel filters and they replaced the filters. I was not allowed to be in their shop and watch how/if the filters were prefilled and...

    L9 Fuel Filter Service - 6 months?

    I have been under the impression fuel filters should be replaced annually - but then I saw this indicating every 6 months. Is this something new?

    fifth fuel filter of our trip on a 1994 Damon intruder Chevy 454

    We’ve been traveling for a couple of months now and haven't gone much more than 2 or 3,000 miles but in that 3,000 miles we've changed our fuel filter about five times. Occasionally we'll get stuttering and hesitations going up hills and after changing it out it works just fine I'm assuming...

    Fuel water filter replacement - fuel pouring out

    This week I was performing my routine maintenance as I have done for decades and when I removed the fuel water separator bowl fuel poured out non-stop. I have an ISB 6.7 engine in a 2020 Ventanta. I expected the fuel to stop coming out but it didn't stop. I was able to remove the old filter...

    Decreasing fuel mileage

    Shadow5501 and KandCbend, Do you guys have any updated mileage info from another old post? I also have a 2021 34PA and have noticed a huge change from the beginning of this year to now. In April I made a typical trip to a race and in cool weather, no need for the dash AC and average on dash...

    Changing fuel filters on a diesel?, but what do you guys do in a pinch?

    I carry an extra set of filters w me because of the horror stories of getting bad fuel. I've changed the filters at my house, but started thinking it would be a PITA to do it on the side of the road. How do you guys do it, especially how do you prefill the filters? At home I can have a jug of...

    Fuel tank contamination

    We purchased a 2012 American Coach Revolution 42W back in November that had 48k miles on it. It's been a good coach, but we have had to replace the fuel filters twice in under 3000 miles. The first time stranded us on the side of the road. When the filters were pulled there was definately...

    Problems replacing fuel pump on Ford E450

    I wanted to replace the fuel pump since it overheats sometimes and shuts off.. It looked easy to reach and probably don't need to drop the gas tank. However, two bolts broke off already (luckily not two next to each other) and I am afraid they will all just break off.. Then what will I do? I...

Some concern on the fuel flow and gravity feed to the generator , if operating while driving and climbing...

    Method buying fuel

    whats the best method you guys have found to save a few bucks on fuel?I was considering a LOVES card but sometimes I need to stop other places than LOVES, there was some very nice and cheap fuel at a new place “QIICK FUEL” I think, so maybe a better way is to join a fuel App or something and not...

    Fuel sending unit

    I have a 2007 Allure 430 Hood River. Last month I took a short 50 mile trip and my fuel gauge stayed on full until I was about 10 miles from my destination. I knew that I should have had about half a tank and when it began working, that is what it indicated. I filled up and the gauge showed...

    Fuel tank selector solenoid

    Hello. I have a 2016 Thor 35SF Super C with dual fuel tanks. The solenoid appears to be stuck to the fwd tank. Does anyone know where this valve is located? I suspect on top of the rear tank out of site. All fuel lines appear to indicate this location. Thank you in advance.

    3126B fuel starvation problem

    I'm having a really mystifying fuel starvation problem with a 3126B in a 2001 GMC E6500 box truck. First the problem, then some background. It starts and runs fine, it'll happily idle for an hour. At startup the fuel pressure, measured after the fuel filter (there's only one), is suspiciously...

    Fuel problem

    I have a 2002 Monaco Monarch SE built on the F53 Ford chassis with a gas V10. It also has the Onan 5500 gas generator. The engine is not getting gas but the generator starts and runs. I replaced the fuel filter on the rail but no gas is getting to the filter. A mechanic looked at the problem and...

    Locking Fuel Caps

    Has anyone put locking fuel and def caps on their coach? If so, anyone have a part number or brand or size that I need for my rig? PS - I tried a search for this question. I always have terrible results when I do a search on this iRV2 site.

    2002 Newmar Mountain Aire gas fuel pump woes

    Everything was working fine until I ran out of gas. Got some gas cans and put about 8 gallons in. RV won't turn over. Disconnected fuel line at input of fuel filter and turned the key: no fuel comes out. That points to bad fuel pump right? Lowered the tank (omg what fun) and wedged myself onto...
