Webasto Help

Ed,

You're on the money.

From the manual:

"The fuel will be compressed
approximately up to 10 bar in the fuel pump and will be
sprayed in vaporized form through the high pressure
nozzle."

1 bar = 14.5 psi.

Mango Mike:

Here are two copy and paste answers I got from a couple of guys regarding the "reset" button on their webasto and the 2010/2020 question. Anyway I post this for info only for all the Webasto Gurus to add to the nit noid files.
"Scholastic" was evidently a model name. Perhaps as a WAG it was the school bus version of the Webasto that had the "impact" switch or "reset" button
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If it is a Scholastic it should be a DBW 2010 12v.. Same as mine. The inertia
switch has a red top about the size of a quarter and is next to the circulation
pump. I have found that it can be sensitive.

Re: Webasto

Thanks Leroy, that sounds right. My inertia switch is the red covered
button. If I remember correctly, I was looking at the 2020 because I
usually find that things always do a bit less then the manufacturer claims
but, Dewey said the Scholastic was more than adequate (it is) and a better
unit overall. I think it may have a higher output pump but I don't remember
for sure.



I have had one or two resets in the past with no problems. The puzzle this
time was that I tried multiple times to reset it when we were out and did so
again after we got back with no luck, then Dewey presses it and it works
like a charm. Also, the heater worked all night just fine and we hadn't
moved when it quit. I suspect that the switch may have been jarred enough
to almost trip it and in the process of bustling around we made just enough
vibration that is shut off the fuel without fully switching and while it was
sitting, possible with the temperature change the switch finally went fully
off and could be reset. In any case, if I get another shut-off like it I
think I may try tapping the switch housing with a rubber mallet in case it
is hung up.



Since we replaced the shocks we haven't had any 'hard landings' but I do
have the shocks set stiff so an occasional reset would not be surprising
with some of the road conditions we get into.

Why don't bypass this inertia switch and never worry about it again?

I think that was mentioned to them.
