  1. Hello Wolfe10

    Thank you for a prompt reply.

    Regarding the levelers problem.

    I have a 2004 Fleetwood Discovery, 39J, Allison, Freightliner chassis.

    I am hard of hearing and wife complained about a shrill whistle.

    Shorty after that the engine died.

    It started up again after a tech injected starter fluid into the engine.

    Ran it at 1500 rpm for several minutes and was advised air in the fuel lines.

    the levelers light came on, all of them and began to flash.

    They went off after a short time.

    With the engine now running I put it in gear, with the engine running and it felt like the brakes were on.

    Coach will need to be towed to shop in the AM.

    IF !! The leveler fluid is low...Could I add so that it will move.

    Can a mobile mechanic bypass the signal from the levelers if they are responsible

    for locking down the drive unit.


  2. I am an 0lde pilot who, as part of the preflight drained the tanks prior to each flight.

    A round glass cylinder is best. We swirled the container which created a vortex and

    could easily see any water or dirt particles. I try to get a funnel to catch the fuel as it

    comes out as the fuel splashes on the frame picking up dirt. I would like to have a tube

    attached to the drain valve and not have it splashed all over.


  3. When I take my Cummins 400 ISL in for service I will occasionally have them clean the engine compartment. In between their cleanings I'll spray out the compartment with a regular hose to remove dirt and debris. While in there spraying water about I also hit the radiator from the inside out to help keep it clean.

    I wouldn't eat of my compartment and working there I'll certainly need a shower and have clothes to be laundered but it isn't so bad that I can't check fluids without needing a shower!

    Take care when "PRESSUE WASHING " The radiator. The fins bend and prevent air flow.
