When the motorhome runs out of fuel, air enters the fuel lines and fuel system
components on the engine. Diesel engines are sensitive to air in the fuel system. If the
engine has stalled due to low fuel, it will be necessary to prime the fuel system
before the engine will start. Several gallons of fuel will be needed in the tank
before attempting to prime the fuel system.
CAUTION: The engine will sputter for a short period before it
stops running due to a low fuel condition. Pull off the road on a
firm level surface a safe distance away from traffic. Steering
may become stiff if the engine stops running. Refer to Section 10
under “Fuel Filters” for “Priming the Engine.”
Alternative Starting Procedure:
A weak or discharged battery will not supply the amount of CCA (Cold
Cranking Amps) necessary to initiate and maintain cranking the engine while
supplying the required voltage to start the engine. If the engine fails to crank, or
cranks slowly due to a weak chassis battery, there are electrical back-up systems in
place that will increase chassis battery voltage.
Battery Boost Switch:
The Battery Boost switch engages a heavy-duty solenoid to electrically connect
the house batteries to the engine battery in the event the engine won't crank or
cranks slowly. The solenoid is designed for short-term high current intermittent
use. Engaging the boost solenoid for an extended period will damage the solenoid.
