I HAVE BEEN OWNING AN ALLEGRO BAY 34FT WITH THE CUMMINS 230 FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS NOW. THE ONLY PROBLEM I'VE HAD THIS PAST YEAR WAS A DIESEL LEAK AND A NON FUNCTIONING EXHAUST BRAKE, IN CALIFORNIA.
MY BROTHER IN LAW AND I REMOVED THE EX BRAKE AND WORKED IT FREE AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE FUEL LEAK WAS FIXED AFTER LIMPING INTO BEND, ORE. ON A SUNDAY. AFTER BEING UNABLE TO GET A MECHANIC TILL MONDAY, I CRAWLED UNDER THE UNIT WHILE BROTHER IN LAW STARTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE DIESEL RETURN LINE FROM THE INJECTOR PUMP TO THE TANK THAT WAS LEAKING. SOMEBODY HAD APPARENTLY CHANGED THE RUBBER HOSE PART OF IT AND TIED IT TO THE METAL CONNECTORS ON THE POWER STEERING LINE AND THIS RUBBED A HOLE IN IT. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT, WITH NEW HOSE AND CLAMPS FOR $5.30.
