Leaking Fuel Leak Found in Time
Have had my Vegas at Hobbs RV over the winter and they were prepaing it so I could take it down to Atlantic Glass in Morehead City to get a new windshield put in (courtesy of Progressive) on Wednesday. Tech Mech was just finishing up getting it ready when I pulled up and both of us smelled gas.
We looked under the Vegas. Just forward of the generator (which was running) there was gas on the ground. I killed the engine and the Tech Mech took a closer look and found a pinhole leak in the steel gas line.
Needless to say I didn't take the RV to the glass shop last week. Hobbs Tech Mech said he was going to put a temporary patch on the gas line and take it over to Heavy Diesel to get a new section of gas line installed.
I'm very thankful we smelled the gas before I was to leave. Don't want to even think of the mayhem I could have caused going down US-70 from New Bern to Morehead City.
