Thor dumped its fuel tank in a mere 2 miles

(0 reviews)

I was coming back from Lewiston, ID, a few days ago. I looked down at my fuel gauge in Riggins, ID and just above 3/4 of a tank. Within about 2 miles, it popped the elbow quick connect off the return line and started pumping fuel on the highway. I notice the fuel gauge rapidly dropping shut the key down. The AirDog pump stopped and pulled over, found the quick connect fitting blew off, and dumped $100 of fuel on the highway in under 2 miles. I'm in the process of hunting down the old steel JIC connectors for the AirDog 150. I'm not a fan of these junk plastic fittings, so here really soon I'll post up the fitting part numbers and where to buy them.

I'm no longer going to use these cheap plastic connectors and hope and pray the fuel system doesn't blow apart in the back country hauling my trailers.

@dieselautopower - Mitchell I'm working on it!

JIC really is the best way to go with any pressurized hydraulic or pneumatic connection

Yeah i plan on ditching all this quick connect junk and create a write up on where to find what. I might request @dieselautopower or another vendor to create a kit for us to ditch the junk fittings.
