MrMarty51: Sorry I couldn't figure out how to "quote a post" or what you described to bring my info to Will L.. The instructions for doing things on these posts is just not clear to me and the web page people don't have an an answer to help me.
This is a picture of my motorhome. Tried to...
This is my signature info: 1996 Safari Trek 6.5TD motorhome with DS4 with electric drive by pedal.
Will L.: This is the "signature" that you asked for on post 12.
"type in the details there.
Year, make, model, include “RV”. Include ds4. Note weather it is a side mount turbo or center...
Will L.....just a reminder...I wrote the information you asked me to send you but haven't heard back from you. Please let me know when you have time! Thanks! Rodney

snarl95 Thanks for writing ...Fuel pressure gauge is plumb into the top of the fuel .
Never had any water or garbage in the filter being regularly changed .
Motorhome now has around 80,000 miles.
akadiesel...Where is...
Will L. wrote and asked me to list all the information on Post 13. Seems like all that you're asking me is answered on post 10 and post 13.
Still waiting to hear Will L's idea on the answers on Post 13.
There are no bubbles at all in the clear hose.
jrsavoie: There is no internal fuel pump in the fuel tank. The lift pump is what pumps the fuel from the tank.
You're other question I listed in the post above . "Leroy's fuel pressure system with 15 lb. gauge. (shows 5 lbs. when pumped up- takes 5 seconds to pump up and then stops)"...
Problem still continues -hard to start after sitting overnight.
Here's the information you asked for: Electric drive by pedal.
Passenger side mounted turbo. Borg-Warner/HI GM 2
Clear line no bubbles except when not running bubble on top of hose.
K&N air fitler
3" OD straight exhaust pipe...
jrsavoie..... when the key is on --the fuel pressure reads 5 lbs while the glow plugs cycle. And it takes about 5 seconds and the pump stops. The glow plugs take a take of 10 seconds before they turn off.
Where do I find out about the lift pump relay?
The PMD went out at 70,000 miles and I...
Hi Fellows...too long getting back to you. I have the motorhome with the 6.5 TD.
As you all have recommended I installed the fuel pressure gauge. I did find a gauge set up on Leroy Diesel where I bought the parts and bought the pressure gauge at O'Reilly.
My problem still is the first start...
dbrannon79 - Thanks for the come back.
I have a GM 9 blade fan and heavy duty regular clutch (not electric). Changed it over on a trip West with the motorhome ...25 yrs ago....from the stock fan and clutch. I spotted a motorhome at a Chevy dealer - same as ours on our trip....stopped in and...
MrMarty51.... I'm trying to think why his conversion would have anything to do with my "fuel pump pressure gauge set up"? It might be that's it's part of this thread that I wish I could find.
Thanks MrMarty51- I'm still looking but I couldn't find any posts for akdieseldriver posts or electro/viscous conversion . I know about what you meant but I'd love to find his thread on the subject.
MrMarty51: Thanks so much for all your info and pictures! This looks like quit a fancy set up that you've made for yourself. I'm going to study it real hard and see if I can figure out how much space I have to use some of your ideas.
Right now the weather has hit us with 20's at night for a...
Will L.--- I planned on using an electric gauge. I've seen those two different types of gauges. One would be liquid filled so the needle doesn't bounce.
The other would be an empty gauge..that the needle would possibly bounce.
dbrannon79: I don't have the room to raise the hoses. But I...
Now that the holidays are over...I'm getting back to Mr.Marty . I do have the FFM filter. If possible I'd like to see a picture of your set up of your pressure gauge and brand name. Also, is it liquid filled?

jrsavoie...On my 1996 motorhome diesel engine .....I do have a lift pump relay.
Thanks to everyone for sticking with me to help with my on going project. I'll be anxious to see MrMarty51's pictures...including his gauge set up.
I belong to a sight called Trek Tracks. They have a search sight just you at " Truck Stop".
I found about four fellows that have the same problem on the first start up of the day.
One had the 60G's....he found that turning the key on and wait for the glow plug light to go off...turn the key...
