Harry,
Your thoughts are timely, but as I expressed to Gary in a PM, a book would be a massive undertaking. It would have to include the XL, XLII, the H3, all the converters, and all of the variations within the specific models. I am still trying to amass all the information I can gather for my coach. What I do think everybody could benefit from however is an outline of what maintenance is required that could be customized for all variations of coaches and converters.
GaryS and Harry,
To copy text from a POG post, first open a new file in Word and minimize it. Then highlight the text in the POG post that you want to copy, right click on the the highlighted text, select COPY, then go to the word file, put the cursor on the place that you want the text to appear in the Word file, right click, and click PASTE. The text will be copied into the word file. I have done this many times to keep info for future reference. :cool:
Jon,
Interesting differences in the same year chassis. I don't have a secondary filter, just the Racor.
Jon,
For us mentally impared, how about a photo of the the port on the secondary filter for the Series 60.
I'll just use one of my pepsi tanks from the restaurant, but I'll be sure to wash it out before it goes back into service at Mango's.
Mike
Mike, Will do. What I would like is to send them to you so you can add your arrow. I will also try to find a shot of an 8V92 so that can get a Mango arrow.
If this works I see a future for myself in computing.
This picture is of the 8V92 secondary filter, and the arrow which I drew all by myself shows the location of a plug that requires an allen wrench for removal. That is the place to prime an 8V92 that has suffered fuel exhaustion.
As soon as I can get under the bus I will post the priming point for the series 60.
Jon,
Nice job on the arrow.
Although you are working me out of a job. ';)
Mike
How come the belt tensioners weren't polished in that picture?
Joe,
Nobody likes a smart aleck. But since you asked....that is the as completed picture of the restored 87 coach as it looked when it was turned over to me by Prevost. When I got done I had polished the tensioners, restored the paint on the engine and pipes and got rid of the soot from the fire from all surfaces.
Now go back to your room.
The photo (that I marked up all by myself...awesome) shows the cap nut on the secondary filter housing. The filter on my coach is along side of the engine cradle side rails below the power steering reservoir out of sight. It may be located in different locations depending on the coach, unlike the 8V92that is always in the same place.
To prime, remove the cap and prime the engine through the open port.
Since this priming port is not easily accessible I am going to add a fuel line at this location and bring it up to an area near the batteries where I can access it through the side door. I will have this change on the coach at POG III.
