Comment on The VW bus fuel saga continues by Troy Wical

This turned out to be a leak where the fuel line connects to the passenger side of the cold start valve. The fuel clamp was not as tight as it should have been and the fuel line slipped a bit.

We’ve not had a chance to install it yet, but are planning to at some point during the winter. I’m not sure how well the bus will pull it at the moment, since the engine is pretty tired. However, if I get the engine swapped into the camper from out transporter, I think it will do fine. The engine in the transporter is very young and running well. Stay tuned.

Peace, Troy

Looks great! Have you had a chance to use it yet? If so, how does the bus to with pulling the trailer?

@ robert, I believe this picture is what you are looking for. There is a small pin hole that can be accessed with something like a paper clip.

Comment on Gas heater timer for the Eberspacher (aka espar or eberspaecher) BN4 by Troy Wical

Troy Wical — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:31:41 +0000

The timer we are talking about in this post controls an auxiliary heater, which is seperate from the engine. Common ones in VW buses are Eberspahcers BA6 and BN4. Eberspacher is now known as Espar, which makes a few modern units that are quite nice as well. Another manufacturer to look for is Southwinds.
