Fuel Pro 382 running dry and engine stall...

Okay made it to the bus today. Good success. It wound up being the top cap o-ring. BusWarrior's friend was correct. Interestingly enough the old o-ring did not look that bad. It was still supple and appeared to be the correct shape. When I previously swapped the filter out I did not notice that it came with *two* o-rings; one for the base and one for the top cap. I'm sure it's not the first time an o-ring has taken down a bus. Will definitely need to order a spare set before going on a longer road trip.

It's a little bit disturbing to see the fuel pro basically empty, but it runs fine now. I think that's just normal for a brand new filter. Obviously the dirtier it gets, the higher the fuel level. Pretty nice system all around.

I also took the time to do an oil change; 9+ gallons of Shell Rotella. What a mess. The old oil was blacker than Putin's soul. Also swapped out the coolant filter. The coolant filter housing surface was pretty rough so I had to do some cleaning with a wire wheel and a bit of filing.

Drove the bus 20 miles or so to get inspection done. Productive day all around!

Same way with those clear throwaway filters on lawn mowers. New one is basically empty and fills up as it gets dirty. Imagine how many are convinced not enough fuel supply.lol

It's never a major problem if it was running good when parked it can become a problem when you start working on it after you park it
