J.R. Wright is "right" on in his description of the fuel vapor seperator
and its function on the coach. I found a simple solution to the problem
of a stuck ball in the valve is to remove one of the lines from the
valve and squirt some Gumout into the valve. This will usually free-up
the ball. If this fails, remove the valve from its mounting (VERY
CAREFULLY) and soak it in a small container in Gumout. Shake the valve
to be sure the ball is free and re-install it. The valve body is made
of nylon and I dont know of anything that will stick to it.
My valve was cracked ,and leaked very bad. I patched it with some gas
tank repair epoxy putty. So far it has worked but I have no illusion
that the epoxy has stuck and will be a permanent fix. Worked for me.
