Well yesterday finally got around to dropping the fuel tank and
cleaning it.
New fuel sender really expensive parker-hannifin fittings and flex
tank to edge of tank added new fuel pump and will break fuel line
farther ahead to add racor 500fg
Funny thing after all these years nobody noticed that the racors are
all installed incorrectly according to racor should be on suction side
of rear push pump
Reason upstream if water in fuel filter will catch it. Downstream
after pump action of pump will emulsify water into fuel making it
harder for filter to seperate it out That is straight from racor tech
support on october 3
Seems that everyone bluebird included was worried about lumps but not
water in fuel
but down side of installing in rear of coach makes it a #$%^% to
service filter.
Also adding 2 vents ala Jeff Miller to try and stop the burps when
fueling. using extra taps in tank and installing 2 seperate 1/2 lines
to level of fuel filler
Cleaning and re-undercoating frame and tanks oops undercoating for
first time never was behind tank inside frame
If anyone is interested in 110 Gallons of dirty fuel let me know
we were going to make 2 molotov cocktails but too heavy to throw maybe
just 2 55 gallon garden lights
Trying to get this mess and all the other projects together for rats
