So this is the latest on the fuel issues of the "She Beast", Just ran two more tanks of WMO through her while we were crossing a few more mountain ranges and putting another 400 miles on the odometer. She has been running GREAT! I would say that it was the hose from the in-tank pump being loose...

Thanks for the input, It made me do lots more reading and researching TM's. Seems like when the pump is at it's stock depth (15.1", which makes it almost on the bottom) the running out of fuel happens around < 2". I just added almost an 1 1/2" to that . . . not really what I wanted to do. I was...

I pulled the pump out the other day, sounds easy doesn't it? It's held in w/ 10 phillips headed screws. 6 of those came out easy, 3 were a bit of a challenge, 1 just rounded out! I had to turn an old screwdriver into a cold chisel, get a groove into the side of the screw head, and tap for a...

Put my pump in her tank!? Don't know where that thing has been! :twisted: The ground has been cleaned. I mounted some other ground line in the same place when I was running the wiring for the box. I did go out for some driving today. Did about 75 miles, city streets, dirt roads, high rpms for...

I did think of that as well, the thing that dropped it farther down the "list of things to check" was that it would happen at all most the same amount of time from the start of driving. Not just some random amount of time. I did put one on the bleeder, but not when it was running :roll: that...

The fuel line under the rad is great, no probs there. I have changed the filters a few times, like I said in the first post, changed the primary twice the first day that it happened and changed the others as well. It made no change to what it's doing. It runs great when I first start it and for...

I've had sometime to work on this again, first I pulled the line to the flame heater and plugged it, at the flame heater filter & at the "T" between the injectors. That kept the return line from filling w/ air when I turned off the power. If I left it for a few hours I would still get a bubble...

Hey it freezes out here, it just doesn't rain loads. I've been starting the "Draggin' " w/ ether. I think that the pump is not turned up at all. Elise's 109 starts w/o any help. She does push me up the hills when we are on pavement. Mine only only starts good after the first time, before that...

OK, we borrowed a car and I took Elise back to J-Tree. She had classes that she needed to attend. Now that I'm back on it, w/o the rush deadline, this is what I've found. When the rig is running, after start up, I have return lines full of fuel. As soon as I shut off the engine (shutting off...

I don't understand how I would get air into the lines. If the fuel system is pressured from the tank pump on why would it not leak out instead of in? I have pressure through all the filters, out the draincocks and bleeder. It's not like we haven't used this rig a lot. This summer we did 1500...

The more I think about this the more confused I am. Do you mean the return line to the tank? Or do you mean from the IP back through all the filters? Or just from the IP back to the final? You said "back to the tank so I'd guess not the last option.

I have not tried that. Would have to come up w/ some manner of pressured air . . . my truck maybe, . . . would hate to have to do it by mouth, don't like her truck that much:| We are in Tucson, AridZona right now, and I know that there are some Tucsonans on the forum. Sure would love that...

Okay, drained about 4 1/2 gals from tank (there's not loads in there right now). It seemed clean. It has been thinned by some gas (at the first fuel station we found after it started doing this . . . it was in the 30's those few days) 5 gal, and later w/ some diesel . . . about 8 gal. I let...

There has been no water in anything that I've drained from the cans when I changed filters.

First off let me say that we are traveling and do not have access to many of the things back at Base Camp. We have just recently done over 400 miles, about 275 of it on dirt tracks, and have been collecting and using WMO as fuel. About 30 miles after one of our "fill ups" the 109 started...
