Stranded

[Jaymz]

I am a couple miles north of Madison WI. No body will touch a bus! I have a broken fuel line.... it would take some work to access the fitting. I am having AAA tow to Minneapolis. My question is there anyone that would be willing to repair in Minneapolis or anywhere in between?  Please help

If it's a Detroit engine Interstate should work on it too,is the cross over line bad or did the fitting break ?,if so they are not hard to replace ,the GM buses can be a challenge with a 8v71 though

Thanks for the quick response. I will take it to c&j. It is a 8v71 on an 61 eagle. I believe it's a return line that is behind the water pump. An hour out of Chicago I started  getting no power. I found some fuel filters in Madison and replaced them with no luck. Then I found the leaky fuel line. I replaced them all except for the one I couldn't get to. I must have "touched" it cuz it wasn't the leaky hose to begin with and it didn't last 10 miles!

I doubt it is a return line unless it is a head crossover line, the return goes out the back of the head on a Eagle,that one is not hard to change if you have a crows foot wrench

Wow! I'm driving past there right now going to MN! Is there anything I can do? I use central Truck in East Bethel. When my bus broke down in Hudson WI once, I got it towed there. He's a 2 stroke Detroit guy. Ask for curt. 763 434 4260

Did you try asking at Badger Bus Lines if they can fix it or know of somebody else in Madison that can help?
