FUEL TANK VENT
Leroy, your fuel sender is located in the kitchen about 2 feet away from the cabinets in the floor. There was a screw located on the kickboard that directs you to the sender location.

Leroy:

Do you think it is possible that water had gotten into the vent and frozen? After being in warmer weather I would give it another try.

I started the bus and it ran for about 5 minutes and shut down. It ran out of fuel. I opened the Racor and looked inside the secondary fuel filter and
empty. Weird. I then thought alge. I disconnected the inlet fuel line to the Racor and blew air to the fuel tank. The tank made a stress noise so I quit. Opened the fill cap and massive amounts of air escaped. I left the fill cap off, primed the engine, and ran it for an hour no issues. Found a broken fuel line on the Webasto. Tomorrows project.
