Re: Loss of power Reply #27 – February 07, 2012, 09:38:31 pm Skylane,Algeacide kills the bugs but doesn't do anything about the black scum. Marinas can refer you to mobile fuel finishing outfits that will pump your fuel out, clean it and pump it back in. The other option is to have a truck repair shop pump out your fuel and dispose of it. Quote Selected
Re: Loss of power Reply #28 – February 07, 2012, 09:41:23 pm FT sells a Racor replacement for the Winn system that provides the original air and water purge functionality as the original. FT parts can provide a part number if you want to source it yourself. I had them do it. I can look up the details if you need them. Quote Selected

Re: Loss of power Reply #30 – February 07, 2012, 11:06:16 pm Quote from: skylane – February 07, 2012, 07:41:58 pmAfter having read about the clogged filters, and the possibility of algae in the fuel...I have a question.We have treated our tank with an algeacide, however whenever we run the tank down to about 1/4 full, our filters get clogged with dark/black debris. Does the algae leave a residue, and if so is there any way to get rid of the scum that may be in the bottom of the tank. The bad fuel affects the filters on the Aqua hot as well, and eventhough it was just serviced, leaving some black smoke residue. Also any recomendation as to the best algaecide to use.? In areas that have a lot of Marinas and boating (this info is from Keith Elms) there are companies who perform "fuel scrubbing" ... they suck the fuel from the tanks where it may have gelled or become contaminated with gunk, filter the crap out, and then give you back the clean fuel. Apparently this is a common problem in marine fuel tanks. Quote Selected

Re: Loss of power Reply #32 – February 08, 2012, 08:02:02 pm Fuel polishing is done where ever the fuel tank is, usually by a company with portable wheeled systems that they roll out to the boats. They surely would come to your coach's location. Quote Selected
