Re: Those (*$^(#$@ pex fittings

Hi There,
recent trip to Scotland one of the drain valves stated passing water when shut , any ideas on replacement as the pipe seems crimped on , as any one else in the UK had this problem and found replacements.

Best Regards Swampy . :?:

Re: rear fuel tank pump?

I also forgot I think there can be a problem if one tank is left out of use for long periods with the valves inside the pumps sticking , think it is best to alternate use occasionally .

Re: rear fuel tank pump?

I have been told by a very experienced Mechanic on US vehicles that running out of fuel at any time causes the in tank pumps to overheat this can lead to failure either at the time or some considerable time after.

Hope this helps Swampy.

Re: Upper Window Leaks.....to the inside of the B190

The window rubbers in my van have shrunk a lot and over the cab have pulled out of the corners. I am having trouble matching up here in the UK , does anybody know if the rubbers in the 94 vans are the same as my 89 ?
