Fuel Quantity Issue

<< < (3/3)

Nicholas Soldevere:
Ok Fellas, now a drivers side head light out, relamp no help, Im guessing the fuse is there in the fwd elect bay, I looked at it yesterday and didnt understand those fuses. Any advice is appreciated.

Carl Boger:
Nicholas,

If only one headlight is out I doubt it is the fuse or power out.   1st verify that you have 12 volts,or likely less going out to the headlight that is not working.  If there is no power there start tracing the power wire backwards toward the electrical panel.  At the same time check for good grounds along that circuit.  Unless your coach is different form mine both headlights are powered on the same circuit.

Nicholas Soldevere:
Update- I followed troubleshooting procedure and verified tank sender output at the indicator, all checks good, leaving only the indicator to be at fault. I ordered and have the indicator but have not installed it.

Nicholas Soldevere:
Update: So as you all may remember, I troubleshot the system and found the sender displaying the correct resistence up at the inputs to the guage. All connections below looking good. I purchased a guage (standard 90 ohm 2" guage) from Northwest, unfortunately,  they sent they sent the wrong one. Or, it is possible I ordered the wrong one but doubtful. I wanted the indication for a trip so I installed it anyway and now I have fuel quantity indication. It seems like Northwest is going to work with me on a replacement.

On to another issue, while checking the engine bay, I found the coolant overflow bottle leaking where is attaches to the nipple on the bottle. Unfortuantely, I just had the system flushed and serviced with something like 19 gallons of final charge and distilled. Not wanting to waste the fluid I caught it all in a large low profile plastic bin. I replaced the hose with a 1 1/8 " ID fuel hose. Got out my electric pump and pumped all the fluid back in so no waste there.

The only issue with the fix is the hose end is an interference fit on the nipple of the bottle and I couldnt get it to slide up on the nipple very far, I'd like for it to be farther up. It wouldnt stretch over the nipple because that hose has a metal coil in it.

Anyone have a suggestion for getting the hose way up on there?

Carl Boger:
Use a double barbed fitting at the end of the new hose and then add a short piece of rubber line to the other side of the barb and slip it onto the tank.
