Was told by a locksmith some years ago to NEVER use WD40. Because they intentionally put a varnish like substance in it so over time what was lubricated will start sticking again and like magic another shot of WD40 will free it up again (also adding a little more varnish like substance) starting the cycle all over again.
Since being told that I have paid more attention when using WD40 and it seams to be true. (Personal experience only, your results may vary).

This is a hell of a thing. I just bought 2 of the 12k compressors. One for my front unit and one for a spare. I have read numerous post saying that although the performance may decrease slightly the 12k replacement would be fine. Are there any replacements that are acceptable?

If it’s the sensor leaking it will be in two possible places. One is at the seam and the other is at the brass thread. I have seen 2 of these in the last 8+ years, it’s rare but does happen. Your leaking likely is the extension. Toss it in the trash and install the sensor with a 3/4 PVC pipe and coupling.
If it’s the sensor, easily replaced.

Yes, that is the same one I have 500fg s/s

Yes, Never ever use stainless on stainless. I learned that many years ago, and regardless of what it says on the bottle, no anti seize works.

My guess is a Racor 500fg.
Here’s the manual for it: 15332_500FG_Turbine_Series.pdf (parker.com)

add long range tank. Mine are 245 gal. I have put 220 in them. Don’t fuel very often as my trips are usually under 1700 miles. Let new owner of your coach do the worry part. By a airplane.. Wait it out… Sit in recliner and watch the world go by.. Buy a boat….In the 1980’s prime intrest rate jumped to 21% gas went from 39cents a gallon to $1.05..Me I had a boat and camper dealership. Also a construction co. with allot of accounts recievable. Would you pay 25% intrest for a boat–rv–or home morgage? Plus floor plan? Point being That was over 40 yrs ago and I still alive. Sorry about spelling My head is not in it this evening. Ted posted in Georgia they have relaxed state tax on diesel..fuel there if you pass thru..In my area there are wells capped(non -production) still productive (could be waiting for price to go up? The oil patch is not doing new wells. When I came out of service in 1969 a good wage was 1.85 per hr.When I retired 13 yrs ago I was over $50hr —gas 1969 28Cents a gallon now $4 compare the 2. Just my opinion— Bob

Fred, switching the coils from one to the other doesn’t tell you anything from the troubleshooting standpoint. You need to pull the air lines from the valve and see if the spool is shifting properly via the manual red buttons on the valve and the switch on the dash.

0.33/mile in 2020
1.00/mile in 2022
Ouch! The thought has crossed my mind recently.
and, our drag strip closed and I’ve sold my racing operation, so 1 less need for the bus.
