Imagine going down a steep hill, in the middle of nowhere PA. All of a sudden the engine starts to buck and it sounds like a jack hammer. We pull over to the side of the highway and Justin gets out to inspect. No visible signs of anything run amok. We switch fuel tanks to see if that fixes the problem and we're off and running. Justin deduces that the noise was caused by a clogged fuel filter. We pull over change the filter and the engine turns over, but does not start. After getting out the wrenches and some tinkering under the hood The Wander Bus starts. After a quick trip to the gas station we fill the fuel filter with diesel and switch back to our primary fuel tank. Total cost of repair eleven cents and over an hour repair.

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to drop you a note and wish you the best of luck on your trip. The Wander Bus seems pretty cool, any chance you could give your blog readers a tour of the inside? Curious to see whats its like. Sounds like the two of you are going to have an amazing adventure, enjoy every moment.
Cheers,
Justin,
Let's get some repair action shots!
First non-family blog comment! (I think...)
Sounds awesome. Let me know when you hit the left coast.

Cranky diesel guy says: If your filters/injection pump/whatever need priming, carry a jerry can of clean #2 diesel!
Not that buying fuel 11 cents at a time isn't fun just for the look on the dude's face...
