1984 pace arrow motorhome fuel problems	Bret P. Hunter	10-21-07
My father in law has a 1984 pace arrow motorhome that has stopped pumping fuel. We replaced the fuel pump for the engine. We have replaced the inline filter on the carb, we have cleaned and replaced the mid line filter right along the frame by the steps going into the motorhome and still no gas. It wont pump a drop. We were told that there is an additional pump located right above the gas tank which by my measure does not look like it will be fun to get to. Any advice you can give or where we might get the resources to help us????

A 84 model may be on a 83 chassis.Most of the early 80s chevy p30 chassis did not have a pump in the tank. Also had lots of fuel vapor lock problems. By 1986 models chevy was putting a pump in side the tank. Sounds like you may have a pin hole in the line near the top of the tank.The fuel pump maybe sucking air through the pin hole. Many of the early models were modified to use a add on electric pump by owners with fuel problems. Also how long is the rig?Some of the builders here in Calif.were only using the electric pumps on rigs over about 25 feet. Use a floor jack to support the tank if you wind up dropping it. Not to bad of job but just take it easy.Good Luck Mike

I hope you have a p-30 chevy. Your coach should have a small booster pump next to the frame. your problem may be like mine the hoses were dryrotted. My problem was each time that I would run my coach I would smell strong oder of gas. All motorhome 454 engines have a by pass line that runs back to the tank to prevent vapor lock and to keep the fuel cool.
