"The gray pipe is possibly polybutylene used between 1978 to 1995. Discontinued due to issues. I have it in a camper and need to open all faucets when hooking up to a water source otherwise the bathroom faucet hose will start leaking. Other than that…"

"Please post compression readings per cylinder wide open throttle, 6 compression strokes.
Sounds like slipped timing chain.
Never "throw parts" at an engine to try and solve a problem.
Ask me."
"Placed vice grips lightly over pipe, just tight enough to not slip over clamp ring. Hammered back on carefully after warming up pipe."
"Warmed up the pipe (feed to bathroom hot) placed vise grips lightly over pipe just tight enough not to slip over clamp ring.

Success!"
Found Fuel Filter
Searched the entire fuel line system for a filter.Hidden between the propane tank and the frame, I find the bugger... finally.Not only do I find the filter, but I find a kink in the steel hose which was apparently caused when someone moved the propane tank to access the filter. This is why this rig was crapping out on the hills. Guaranteed.Wonder how long the last owners put up with that??…See More
"Glad to hear you have a fix in! Doing my latest Allegro rig once the bits come in for the fronts. Hoping for some warmer weather do it. It snowed a bit this am as well."
"Did not mention tight clutch pack clearances (0.35) with no wave plates are the ticket in a motor home. Shifts are strong and quick with no bump, slam or hesitation."
"NEW HOSES SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!"
