Title: Fuel minder failure
Post by: dsd on January 06, 2022, 10:41:07 pm
So I had added a fuel minder a year and a half ago and yesterday while parking coach i was leak checking the oil filter and primary fuel filter. I noticed a drop of fuel hanging below the fuel minder and the moment I gently touched it, it failed while the purge pump was activated, was quite the surprise and I will be reaching out to the manufacturer about this, I removed and plugged. I really like the idea of knowing how restricted a filter is so ill seek a gauge with a limit indicator. Glad it happened at home and not on the freeway. I would of never noticed the full loss. But luckily it probably would of shut down do to a air leak.

That picture gives my OCD nightmares.

Glad you found it when you did.

Glad you caught it when you were right there. You might have notice people trying to flag you down letting you know your coach was on fire.

I had 4 Racor gauges in our Wanderlodge. They were known to leak as they used a vacuum for the gauge. Since then, I watch my exhaust smoke - or my engine performance.
