Fuel line failure
2006 KSDP Cummins ISL 350. On the way home from Fl to OH on route #75 near Ringold, GA. Stopped at rest stop to check MH after running over blown truck tire. Everything looked ok, but check engine & found slight fuel leak from pump feed line. The leak was just slight, so decided to travel to our KOA destination & have it fixed (bad decision). Within about 6 miles of the KOA I was smoking really bad out the back. Just got to KOA shutdown & I was dripping fuel. Now stuck at Freightliner of Chattanooga awaiting part to be installed Monday. A $26 dollar shipped in from Atlanta with a labor charge of $455.00. My extended warranty is of no use because I have a $500 deductible. If I was over $500.00 dollars they would pick up the tab for meals & hotel.
I hope the diesel oil all over the back of the MH doesn't ruin the paint!!!
While stranded in the parking lot of the Freightliner repair shop my refer quits!! Just had a new cooling unit put in the Norcold 1200 in March of this year.
While crawling under the MH to check for more damage from the tire we ran over, I discovered my drivers side front tire is shot!!! Now I need a new tire! I do have tire insurance, so we will see how that goes.
These insurance companies are really difficult to work with & every frustrating.
Just venting, sorry
