8KW Onan Quiet Diesel

How old are the lines?

Bruce, for whatever reason CC decided to save money on cheap fuel line hose. They purchased a lot of it and your CC is in that group of problems. The problem is the hose gets small cracks and sucks air and enough to shut down the gen. Bottom line for reliable operation is replacement of all the hose to gen. Some owners have run new hose leaving the old just because it was not really easy to remove and replace. Hose is available at NAPA for the correct replacement and workable with diesel.
You are correct when looking at this hose, it appears just fine. That is what has CC owners to look elsewhere, but the problem is the hose.

Thanks Al. I was thinking along those lines, but was unaware of the issue with the lines across the entire product line. The problem now is that I need to become inspector gadget with extension arms to get back to the supply and return no easy access.
