Diesel tank leak!
particulars: Monaco Windsor
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Cummins 275 6 sp Allison
Miles: ~72,000
Year: 1996
Break Down Description: A while after parking in a campground between Ann Arbor & Detroit, noticed a wet spot under the motorcoach, well away from the water compartment. It was diesel fuel, the drip rate was high, and this was a Sat evening! We had driven I77 north thru Ohio, possibly the roughest road we've ever been on. Went out to a Walmat, bought a metal pan & funnel, and spend the next 36 hrs pouring fuel back into the tank. On Mon, drove to a Cummins Service Center near Grand Rapids, which was near our destination.
Symptoms: fuel leak
Effect:
Cause: split seam on tank
Outcome: Spent 2 nights camping in the service bay while tank was pulled, sent to a local company to be rewelded, & reinstalled.
