    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    FIXED! And back on the road on Monday. Used a jerry can, and with clear hose, worked my way inserting at each part. Ended up being the replacement water separator I attached in the fall. The Amazon water sep had a hard plastic filter housing that seemed to crack on the top, so no diesel would...

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    Okay yes that’s a great idea. I’ll try that tomorrow or suggest that to a mechanic if I can find another one in town. I’m not going back to the guy who left the van stranded Friday night. I’ve attached a clear hose today, on the outlet of the lift pump. Plenty of air. Drove to fill both tanks...

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    Hey thanks for the reply! Been outside now in above freezing temperatures. Still plenty of air in the intake of the lines. I added a clear hose on the outlet of the pump right before the filter. A lot of visible air lines flowing out of the pump.

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    With my 6.9 IDI doesn’t look like I have a fuel lamp on my dash. The last mechanics in the prairies a couple weeks ago checked for venting on the tanks, they blew thru I think the vent hoses hanging off the sides

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    Just did another test only on front tank. First bleed and crank, plenty of fuel flow, not even 5 mins, no fuel at valve, turned it off, waited a bit, cranked it over fuel at valve, then 5 mins after running full of air…. What would make the fuel fluctuate so much? Can the pickups react in such...

    Okay, yea my guess is to check the shower heads / pickups. Even just on one tank and ride with that. Kinda hard to drop a tank in a lot, and don’t wanna give this guy more business gonna try and call around

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    Got fresh batteries in the van, was able to turn over after bleeding the filter head valve while cranking, mech pump works. Had good flow, got engine up to temp, on both tanks for 10 mins each. while running checked to see if fuel was flowing to the filter head, nothing! Switched tanks...

    Thanks for the replies! Shower heads are in the tanks correct? It’s a new FSV, switched out from original 2 weeks ago, it clicks every time. Had it not react right away, needles on dash wouldn’t change, then after 5 mins of driving they switch. But it seems to click ever time so far this week...

    6.9 E350 camper down in Cranbrook, BC

    Traveling 6.9 E350 converted camper van down in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. Got towed down to a “diesel specialist” here in town from ski hill. Wouldn’t turn over, killed batteries up on the mountain. Fuel in the lines from somewhere with inconsistent flow, sometimes more rough power...

    For Sale Gear Vendors Overdrive

    Okay great, I only have the 2WD Econoline. Not exactly sure what a c6 / 1356 means in terms of my fit. Would you able to ship to Toronto? Could see about doing a road trip down to Maryland later this summer if not! Also would a new low-stall torque converter be an adequate addition to this...
