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 on rear. (New lines from both tanks, new switch valve, new e-pump 1000km since that repair, by-passed water sep, new one installed, by-passed mech. lift pump, trickle / inconsistent fuel at schreader) They spent all day inspecting low pressure lines, return lines, and determine it was the Redit Gold-Flo e-pump wasn’t strong enough for engine, insisted to install a new mechanical lift pump.
Long story short, they took it for a test drive stalled on both tanks, 3rd test drive stalled down the road, couldn’t crank it over, killed the batteries, and closed shop and left me to tow it back to there shop and wait for them in there lot until Monday.
Any advice would be appreciated on what I could try as I wait all weekend.
I’m thinking both tanks have issues with there pickups, either cracks or the cone / sock are broken. Either pulling air or getting clogged and creating extra suction from micro cracks along the line. I mentioned this to the shop but they gave me the “we have 40 years experience” it’s definitely the e-pump…
Feel free to call / text 416-897-0574 for any quicker help. Thanks!
