So on our way back from the north east to our winter spot north of yuma az.
While driving just before Albuquerque NM the coach was loosing power. I went through this when I first got the coach 10 years ago. I new it was the fuel filters. But these filters were changed just 5K miles before. I had extras good thing changed them out and all was well no black smoke under a load but before we got to Yuma it looked like the smoke was coming back. After arriving, using the gene it cranked over longer than normal so changed the fuel filter on it and started normal. Now a few weeks later the gene cranks a bit longer than normal.
So Could I have a major issue with my fuel.
I use Bi-Bor additive and ALWAYS top off the tank before sitting for the season.
By the way we had bad head winds and after filling up prior to realizing the plugged filters The mileage was in the 3"s worst ever, Maybe a combo of the wind and bad filters.
