Title: Generator fuel pump
Post by: saddlesore on May 19, 2017, 10:37:55 pm
So had an interesting series of" why did you quit runnin?" after FOT did an full service on the coach
1st thought was too low on fuel,while @ MOT facing their shop door (front high)
So fueled at the shell, took 70 gal.....fired off the gennie ,,,, no probs.
Went to OTM
their pedestal has an open ground or neutral, so ran gennie... no issues (nose down just a little bit)
Went to Xtreme, when got coach out of their shop they parked it facing the street, again nose down gennie ran good, left gennie running for the roof AC... all good
Got to the shell, parked and the ginnie quit.... nose up...... tried starting several times... no dice
Got to OTM for the sealevel sender replacement...... gennie fired right up.....?????
Nosed the coach into a service door and the gennie quit  (nose up)
Finally got a bit radical and put my hand on the electric fuel pump while trying to get it restarted.... no vibration indicating that it  was pumping fuel..
Wayne tested the pump and it was kaput.... replaced it all good now.
after the fact figured out that the gennie was being fed by gravity when the front of the coach was lower than the rear of the coach.... learn something new every day
