I had a fuel delivery problem with my '93 Itasca Sunrise last winter in Florida that was diagnosed as rust in the tank plugging the sock on the fuel pump. That made sense because it would run fine for 100-200 miles then have a fuel starvation problem, I would then turn off the ignition then turn it right back on [the idea being the rust would fall away from the sock with the fuel pump off] and it would run fine.
The problem always occured late in the afternoon when the outside air was very warm and didn't happen again after we left Florida and got in to cooler weather on our way home [northern NY] and I am wondering if there is some connection.
After we got home I took out the fuel tank and there was some rust in it [I think most of it came from the filler pipe] I flushed the tank and put in a new fuel pump and strainer, but I have not driven it to test it yet. When I checked the voltage coming in to the pump it was 10.2 with the engine not running [the battery is at 11.8 volts]
I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem, or can shed some light on the subject? I want to make sure I have it fixed before we head south again.
Thanks
Dan
