rusty-greatwhitenorth Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 This is sorta a road trip story, but I'm singing the praises of old technology.......I recently made a trip from home (north of Toronto, Canada) in my '83 dolphin to the Syracuse N.Y. area, and had a little mechanical trouble. The alternator died on me, and I couldn't get one soon enough to be back at work on time, so I "rolled the dice", charged the battery, and headed home (350 miles) running off the battery. Unbelievable as it may seem, I made it right into my driveway........if I had a newer camper with fuel injection and electric fuel pump I doubt I'd have made it 25 miles. java script:emoticon('', 'smid_9') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Remove the coach battery lead from the isolater and connect everything to the same post. I've gone 200 mi with a dead alt and EFi with no problem. I "THINK" my house battery would run the fuel pump for about 10 hr, but I ani't gonna try it just to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
