Weird Repair

The engine in the motorhome died about 10 days ago. Yesterday, after Paul Evert's mechanic where unable to find the problem, they finally towed our motorhome to Quinn Catepillar. Their mechanics worked on the coach for about 4 hours and finally discovered that the fuel tank pick-up is probably hooked up backwards. Seems the engine draws fuel down to a level that the genereator normally would and the generator can draw down to the actual bottom of the tank. What that all means is that the motorhome runs out of fuel even though there is still at least 30 gallons left in the tank. The had to reprime the system and now until we can get to the Monaco repair facility in Oregon we have to keep the tank at least 1/4 to a 1/2 full. Anyway, it's good to have the coach working again and now the Paul Evert's people can get back to the last few warranty items.
