Here's an update. First off, thank you Rockauto. Their service is exceptional.
I got the fuel pressure regulator and swapped that out. Super easy as it's right on the back of the motor and super accessible. Remove the vacuum line, one c-clip and with a gentle tug upward with some pliers and it pops right out. Lubed the orings on the new one with some motor oil and pushed it in. Reinstalled the c-clip and vacuum line and fired the motor up.
Unfortunately, I still only have 28 psi so that clearly wasn't it. With that said, it was a cheap and easy fix to try.
I haven't figured out which is the fuel pump relay but none seem to be warm with my temp gun.
So, next up is the fuel pump. I have a Motorcraft turbine sitting on the work bench ready to go in.
I looked under the motorhome and it appears that the holding tanks are above the fuel tank so that eliminates the potential of cutting a hole in the floor under the bed.
I have two big floor jacks so I'm going to make a cradle out of some 2x4s so we can use the 2 jacks to control the tank carefully.
I'm considering using the fuel line to the generator and hook a electric fuel pump to drain the tank down some. Does anybody know how low you can draw your fuel tank by the generator?
Thanks.......john
