The RV is 2001 Ford with the v-10 engine, it has 14000 + miles, it sat for about 7 years while we recuperated from the housing fiasco, we had to live in it after we walked away from the house, it also sat in the desert for the last year with temperatures of 102 to 118.
When the engine starts to cranck and does not light up immediately that is the pump loosing the pressure, the fuel filter will also starve the injectors but the engine should ignite normally and idle, the filter will make the engine stumble on acceleration, the pump will not it will just not have any get go.
Replaced fuel pump by Ford dealer in Santa Fe and goes 60 miles up hills unless the gradient is steeper, then it slows to 55 in second that is with the cruise control engaged.
