Regarding Girt:
Today I packed all the odds & sods gradually transferred to the house as pantry stocks ran short.
Also packed some clothes and etceteras. Still a week to go, so some stuff is last-minute... like toothbrushes.
Checked tyres, airbags, oil, coolant, water tank, etc. Raining here today, so windscreen scrubbing must wait for fine day.
Feet itch getting worse.
Regards & God bless,
Ray

HELP....
The diesel heater in the bus wont pick fuel up . It has been plumber to the main tank fuel line for over three years .
There is at the moment around 120 litres in the tank so its not the tank
Now there is nothing wrong with the heater or the pump , I can run the heater from a ten litre fuel tank on the ground without any problem.. In the course of fault finding I have renewed the T piece and the fuel filter ( what I thought was the culprit )
Today laying in the wet I removed the T piece and put a joiner in the fuel line to seal it , I then cut the fuel line about 2 foot from the heater fuel pump and put a new T piece and plumbed to the heater fuel pump . Still wont pick fuel up .
There is fuel in the line as I can and have been running the bus engine .
I'm at wits end as to why some thing that has ran for so long now decides not to .
Open to your thought on this ...or remedies .
Bernie .
Windscreen finally received its scrub-down & polish... along with all nose panels & bullbar. (Thought I might as well, as I had all the gear there, and there werevery many suicidal bugs on her nose.)
SWMBO says the screen hasn't looked this clean since we bought her!
Bernie,
Our diesel heater was installed with a pick-up which always leaves 1/4 tank for driving. How big is your tank? It may simply be a matter of adding a couple of (or 20) litres to reach the pick-up.
Failing that, have you checked the air filter? Also, we have found that after much usage, the burner plate the diesel is sprayed onto can become gummed up. A bath in petrol fixed that.
Diesel heaters are also sensitive to start-up voltage. Check your battery/ies... We were caught once trying to kick it over with 11.5v. Doesn't work.
Regards & God bless,
Ray

I think I would try blowing down the fuel line and check you can hear bubbles in the fuel tank.
It may even be that the fuel pickup is blocked...
Might also be an air lock in the piping, blowing it out could fix that too?
Bernie and Jon ...read the bit about the bus motor runs . It's the same fuel line and the fuel I put in the 10lt tank has fuel FROM the bus tank . No wax .
