My RV Travel and travel adventures, build and daily life are covered here. I live full time in a heavily modified 1964 MCI MC5. I'm a professional automotive mechanical engineer. I'm a pretty chill ex pat, who emigrated to the USA some years ago.
My videos typically have a lag to real-life-time, and many aren't necessarily in chronological order.
This video's occurrence took place about a year ago. Setting out to leave Indiana tackling myriad technical issues. The Generator, an Onan 7500, hasn't run in years and wouldn't start. The diag code suggested overheating- but it would flag immediately on start up. Because time is of the essence, I bought many parts to 'kill' the problem. I ended up changing the thermostat, Thermostat gasket, low-pressure lift pump, fuel filter and glow plugs. I got it fixed, finally! The first culprit for non function was the temp sensor, it ran for about 2 hours and then conked out again! This time it ended up being mold that had grown in the diesel tank (from the bus sitting for so long and the in-tank moisture). This in turn had made its way to the low pressure lift up and clogged it up. Once this was fixed, I used a biocide to kill the mold in the tank. A year later the tank has stayed clean with no more mold growing. This is because it's used regularly now and the tank is kept close to topped up!
