1991 Rockwood Fuel Pump Issues
Problem began with generator, which I assume is related to later fuel issues. When I started the generator, it would cut out within a couple minutes. No problem restarting it, it just wouldn't stay on.
A couple months later, all of a suddern the engine began stalling and cutting out, like I was out of gas (guage showed 1/2 tank). We were on our way back from Glamis Sand Dunes to San Diego and I stopped in El Centro to fill it up. When I removed the gas cap, there was pressure, I did a visual check and was unable to make a diagnosis. Miraculously we made the 100+ mountainous ride home, despite the constant spitting and stalling the entire trip.
Once parked, it wouldn't start at all. I replaced the fuel filter, that didn't work. After considerable research on the Internet (this forum was a wonderful resource - THANK YOU!), I realized the Ford 460 engine came with an in tank fuel pump. Had to buy from local Ford dealership for $600+. I installed it and still having same problems.
It takes a few tries to start and only runs a few minutes before stalling. I did more on-line research and wonder if it's the "relay" I keep seeing mentioned but am unable to find on my RV.
HELP!
