"Vapor lock" occurs when gasoline vaporizes, and vapor
pockets block the flow
of
liquid fuel to the engine.
If
you
experience engine stall or stutter, you may be experiencing
vapor lock.
If
your engine and fuel system are properly tuned
and maintained, you should not experience this problem.
If
vapor lock occurs, the fuel itself could be the cause.
If
at all
possible, check with the service station operator
as
to
the
fuel blend before filling your fuel tank.
If
you purchase your
fuel from nationally recognized fuel dealers, your chances
of
vapor lock can be reduced.
If
you store your motor home
during the winter months, be aware that when you take the
vehicle out
of
storage in the spring or summer, winter fuel
may cause vapor lock until it is consumed.
When the engine is under load or requires maximum cooling,
the engine fan turns faster. The fan may become noisy at
high speed and when maximum cooling is required. High
speed fan noise can sometimes be misinterpreted as transmis-
sion slippage. This is not the case. This fan noise indicates
that the fan is doing what it is supposed
to
do. This noise is
not a defect in the fan or the transmission.
Your motor home engine has been designed to conform to
Federal and State emission requirements. To meet these
requirements, engine operating temperatures are high. As a
result, the engine and exhaust systems radiate a great deal
of
heat.
Special heat shields are built into your motor home
to
protect
wiring and other components from possible heat damage
caused by the exhaust system. Do not remove these shields,
modify the exhaust system, or add additional equipment,
such as wiring, plumbing, or other components, which will
be effected by exhaust system heat.
