About Us
Julie and I met and married on the river. As guides, we love sharing our passion for whitewater with others all summer. When not guiding, we love traveling to other rivers around the country and world. We bought our 2003 International Bluebird last year and have been working on our Skoolie conversion ever since. (Except for last summer where we had to stop working on it and live in it!) We hope that you enjoy the videos and they help you in some way. Thanks for watching!

On the dt466e, it's fairly common for those primer pumps to wear out and need to be replaced. One thing to watch out for on any Huei engine, is that the fuel injector tips can split if dry fired. You want to avoid running out of fuel for this reason, but you also need to be very careful when repriming the system that you don't crank on the starter for too long with air still in there, which is dry firing on those injectors
I was nervous about the injectors for sure! Fortunately, they seem okay. I fixed the fuel gauge so hopefully we won't have to worry about that anymoer!
I was wondering if filtering the fuel as you filled the filter was something you could do. Great minds think alike!
Wish I could take credit for that, but someone suggested to me! I feel sometimes like I'd be the subject of the joke about I would lamented that I'd locked myself out of a convertible with the top down and it was raining. Anyway...it's always frustrating when you get to the part of the project that should be simple and these obstacles interfere!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I accidentally ran mine out of fuel because sensor in one thank was bad and didn't transfer fuel to other tank. With your careful demonstration I now know what to do. THANK YOU!!!!
Glad it helped. Best of luck!
@@River-Channel As a follow-up for anybody else...I had to buy two new batteries, hooked up three altogether and then after filling the fuel filter and pumping thousand of times in the primer pump spent 45 minutes cranking the engine with the starter for 30-second bursts and then letting starter cool off. eventually head filled with diesel and finally got an cylinders firing again. Thank you again!!! my cheek filter bleeder looked like a bicycle air stem and was on the front, not the side (fyi).
@@googlemustdie It's a relief, isn't it?! Glad that you're up an running again!
@@River-Channel yours also had a bike air stem. Could use either bleed the air? I have the bike stem as well. Not sure if I have the other thing you pointed out bit will check tomorrow
Thanks
@@adictiveadictive I think it's primarily used to check fuel pressure but I think you could push in the stem to bleed out air.
old fan belt or serpentine belt works good for removing and installing oil filters fuel filters just cut one in wrap around and twist
Great idea! Now I have more reasons to give Julie about why I keep stuff lying around!
Just pour the fuel into the internal part of the filter. It's super easy
Your fuel priming pump is worn out I went through the same thing and after about a half hour of trying I pulled the priming pump out and filled it with oil and I got the truck running in a few minutes proving my priming pump is worn out I'm guessing this is a common problem
Thanks for the tip, Jon! Rather than replace it I'll focus on keeping my tanks full!
het there ! we are also doing a skoolie conversion, we ran out of fuel and now it wont start, we have almost the same bus, a 2002 engine,. wondering how did you bleed the air out of lines when your bus ran out of fuel? any and all info helps! thanks for the video!
Bummer, Kalia! My bus has what looks like a silver handle on the right side of the fuel filter housing. You're supposed to push down on the top of it...keep pumping it to bleed out the air. Honestly, it didn't seem to do a lot for me. I ended up hooking up some jumper cables to my batteries to give them some extra juice and kept cranking until the engine fired up. Even then it stalled a few times, then belched smoke for a bit until the air all bled out. Took awhile, but runs great now. Best of luck...let me know how it turns out!
@@River-Channel
So, ultimately the constant cranking and battery charging is what got it started?
@@adictiveadictive Yes...fortunately I have 2 strong batteries because it took some cranking, but yes, that's what I did.
Whats the part number for that fuel filter housing?
Good old Navistar international DT466e.
Love it! It's been running great!
@@River-Channel the legend. They'll run forever! Good old reliable, start in any weather.
Does your bus have a fuel/water separator??
That's a good question...I don't know. (But I should). I'll get back to you on that!
@@River-Channel
So, did it?
@@adictiveadictive Yes...I have one. But I haven't had to do anything with it yet.
Fuel filters do not need to be that tight
I always worry about leaks!
