    1995 26' Diesel RV on 1994 E-350 chassis with WVO conversion

    Exactly what you said. Just a bulge in the siding. The PO had the overcab rebuilt due to water leakage. He thinks that they either didn't glue that section or the glue in that section failed from the repair. It doesn't leak so I haven't messed with it.

    1995 26' Diesel RV on 1994 E-350 chassis with WVO conversion

    $10,000 Small size makes it an easy driver. Reliable Ford 7.3L IDI Diesel with 161K miles on it with no leaks. 10-12 mpg pulling 12 foot enclosed trailer at 70 mph (i think the stock tank is ~50 gallons). Will pull faster than you ever want to go in an RV. Has brake controller, but I've...

    How to test Glow Plug controller

    1994 E350 Chasis with 7.3 How can I test the GPC before I replace it? I think I may actualy have a bad one. Here is the story. Past year the GP controller would alternate between a normal loud click to a much softer click. Last fall it started to not cycle at all and WTS light was...

    high voltage and intermittent flashing Battery light

    It does have two brand new batteries and this was the first trip since they were replaced. Maybe one of the cells wasn't completely sealed and the acid boiled out. I'll pull them and get them both load tested.

    high voltage and intermittent flashing Battery light

    14.2-14.3 V at idle and with some throttle (don't have a tach). Engine rpm doesn't seem to affect it. When I turn off the engine it will immediately drop to around 13.3V and then slowly fall to somewhere in the 12V range (usually above 12V which is think is correct). Can't seem to get the...

    high voltage and intermittent flashing Battery light

    Yeah I was going to check the real voltage. I got back from the trip Sunday night at 10 and then left at 5 am Monday for a business trip. Just got home yesterday so I was going to check the real voltage this weekend. It should put out a little over 14 V at idle right?

    high voltage and intermittent flashing Battery light

    94 E350 motorhome with 7.3 IDI Coming back from and 800 mile trip the battery light started to flicker every once and awhile. The volt meter was also higher than normal ( I'd guess it to be somewhere around 16V). From what I've read it sounds like voltage regulator is the culprit. Can I...

    Hard line attached to the front driver's side Valve cover bolt?

    Yup quarter inch line. Ill check the bottom of the filter tomorrow and run a longer rubber hose for the drain if that is what it is for.

    Hard line attached to the front driver's side Valve cover bolt?

    1994 E350 7.3 IDI What is the hard line that is attached to the front drivers side valve cover bolt? The hard line ends at the hanger attached to the bolt and there is a 5-6 inch rubber line attached to it. I don't think the rubber line was attached to anything. I broke the hard line when...

    How does the fuel return system work?

    If this is the case then everything should be ok. I think our engines only burn about 0.6 gallons an hour at idle. So an hour at idle would return 6+ gallons. Should the return system return more fuel with higher rpm?

    How does the fuel return system work?

    I run a two tank WVO system. I'm flushing all the VO out of the system for the winter. My VO tank is a poly tank and you can see the liquid level through the side of the tank. To fill the system with diesel I was pulling from the diesel tank and returning to the VO tank. I let it run at idle...

    How does the fuel return system work?

    Just curious how the fuel return system works. I've switched to an electric pump and at idle I'm only getting about 5 gallons an hour back to the tank. I know the pump is rated at 40-60 GPH so I was kind of concerned about the low return rate. I was thinking that maybe the IP regulates flow...

    Oil leak above filter

    I've got an oil leak that appears to be originating above the oil filter. I've checked the filter and it doesn't appear to be leaking and there is wet oil above the filter mount. What are the likely sources? Its an e350 so space is tight in there and I can't really see what is going on...

    used veg oil cheap simple and non-messy filtering ideas?

    Good luck with the non-messy part. I try to be very careful whenever filtering and transferring WVO, but i still manager to get it on my clothes or spill some on the floor 50% of the time. It is just inherently messy.

    VEGGY OIL QUESTION

    I thought about biodiesel, but there were some reasons I didn't go that route. I think either is a good option. A good biodiesel processor would have been about the same cost as what I spent on my veg system. My conversion is on an RV and the average non-stop commute is 400-500 miles with...

    VEGGY OIL QUESTION

    I would recommend a two tank system. A heated tank for WVO and the normal tank for diesel. That is what i run and I have very few problems. Start up on Diesel to get everything hot and then switch to veggie. Purge the lines with diesel before shut down and everything will run smoothly...

    Rare IDI motorhome for sale!

    My 1994 25 Ft RV with 7.3 IDI gets about about 10-11 mpg running 70 mph pulling a 3500 lb trailer with all my motorcycle road racing gear. I was lucky to find a smaller RV with a diesel and I was able to pick it up for $9K. Put a WVO conversion on it and now I drive around for next to nothing...
