The joys of breaking down on the road! We had worked out the mileage we would get with the last tank of diesel purchased, we should have had enough to get to Atlanta, but the fuel gage was dropping quicker than normal for the miles we had traveled.

When we pulled over to fuel up, I realized that we were spraying diesel out the back of the coach and all over the boat! You should have seen my brand new white MasterCraft! I'll take a picture in the daylight and post tomorrow. We had blown a fuel line and loosing diesel badly!

Of course the Flying J truck stop we were stopped at did not have any fuel hose and it was a struggle to find any metal tubing we could line the inside of the split fuel hose with. We first tried cutting up a tire pressure gauge for the tube, but the thin Aluminum would not hold and seal. I then found my trusted plastic pen that I had been using to write my coaching notes with in the boat, it just happened to be the perfect diameter to slide inside the hose. We bought a couple of jubilee hose clamps and we were fixed and back to the races!




Unfortunately Gar was a little soiled and need a scrub down at the RV dump outside the gas station, we got some pretty strange stares as he stripped off and went to town on the clean up!


Break down number 10 on the Tour so far fixed by ourselves, I hope our luck doesn't run out!
