    Toyota 22r compression specs, warm engine

    Nominal 170 psi

    Minimum  142 psi

    Max variation between high and low cylinder 14 psi

     

    Remove ALL the sparkplugs, block the throttle wide open, EFI? remove the fuel pump fuse. Then do the compression check.

    If the readings are low, a couple squirts of oil in each cylinder, one at a time and then bump the start for a few revs. Recheck compression, if still low, suspect bad valves. If the readings jump up to normal, suspect bad rings

    In my previous life, I discovered this Velcro. It is 2 sided and sticks to itself. It is SO useful.

    I never hook to city or campground water. If something springs a leak while I'm away from the camper it's a disaster because it's always on

    From my fresh tank I only turn pump on when I need water. Might not notice a leak right away but even then, it will still 

    be drops instead of gallons.

    Signs of human intelligence again. Thanks Linda.

    That's a mistake all of us have made, including me. Campgrounds are especially notorious for high pressure water to accommodate the big rigs, never roll the dice with water pressure . Here is a pic of mine...

    Thank you very much Gary! Do they all come with cats?

    It comes down to you locating the exact source of the leak. No fancy part ordering required unless it's the pump itself leaking.

    Everything else can be replaced with Pex fittings from the hardware store. Your existing pipe is polybutyl, no longer made.

    Pex can be joined to it with hose clamps, cheap, or sharkbite fittings, very expensive.

    Again, incredibly useful information from you and Gary! Thank you very much. Having a guy fix this and your input is very helpful. Do you use a pressure reducer when hooked to city water? Any idea where I might find one? Thank you very much

    Pretty common in these rigs, if you start looking for trouble you're gonna find things like this. 😁

     

    Is it currently leaking? The reason I say this maybe the previous owner hooked up city water without a reducer, i.e too much pressure. If it's not leaking on internal pump then leave it alone.

     

    Also I doubt you'll find a schematic on this setup, the manuals don't go in that detail.

    Thank you Gary for your thoughts.

    I had no idea one needed a pressure reducer on the water intake! It leaks when I have it hooked up to city water. I have never seen a pressure reducer. Can you share a link to one of these please. 

    I believe a joint may be leaking down there. I don't want the floors to rot because of this so want to do what I can to fix the problem, even if it's from too much pressure.
