Aqua hot leaking diesel
Hi all, We're at SPI and I've noticed that my AQ is leaking fuel. I took the
main burner off and it looks like the outside seal on the fuel pump is leaking a lot of fuel. has anyone replaced this pump or can I just replace the seal in the pump???? It was leaking a small amount when I left home, I tightened all the screw's and that seemed to fix it. Before I arrived here at SPI I filled the fuel tank on the bus and now the leak is big time, it leak's without using it. Thanks. Bpb&Carol 99LX Bunker Hill, Il. (now at SPI, Tx.) |

This is Roger Burke's site for parts, He should have your pump on there.

ernie, No problem wih the carpet, it's contained within the stainless steel tray
that it sit's in and then drop's thru a hole to the ground. I stopped the leak today and will investigate more this week. Wallace, when I get mine fixed I would be happy to take a look at yours.

Bob and Wallace,
The Aqua Hot fuel pump has a tiny cover that once it starts leaking you will probably just want to replace it. There are also 2 banjo bolts beside the fuel pump with copper washers, be sure those are tight. If you buy a new fuel pump from Roger you get 4 new copper washers. You probably also need 4 new rubber gaskets which seal around the fuel lines and wiring. One easy way to repair this would be to do an exchange of the whole main burner unit. You send Roger your burner and he ships a rebuilt one immediately back to you. On mine I also installed a 1/4 inch ball valve to shut off the fuel. This is handy when changing nozzles, filters, fuel lines or when you may have a drip.

Hi Rick, Thanks, yes it's around that little cover that mine continues to leak.
I sent Roger a email this morning and I believe I'll probably do a rebuild on my unit. where did you install the 1/4 inch ball valve at in the system? Thanks for the info.

Bob,
I put the ball valve on top of the aquahot unit. On mine there is a check valve in the fuel line, I put the ball valve next to that. While your in there, you might as well change the fuel line. I used 1/4inch fuel injector hose for that, available at most auto supply stores. Another thing I did to simplify future aquahot service work was to add high quality bullet connectors to the wires which connect the burner to the main unit. Lee Davis told me this trick. Now when I need service I turn off the fuel, remove 2 nuts and unsnap the wires and I can take the burner out and work on it on a bench, instead of working on it in the torture chamber!

You can get an AH fuel pump from a Webasto dealer for about half the price that
AH sells it. I am getting ready to order one. Steve Purdy works for WW Williams and can help with that. I don't know if he posts here but he does on the other Forum. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "contrail Bob" > > Hi all, We're at SPI and I've noticed that my AQ is leaking fuel.
