Subject:gas fridge not working
From:Duclos Darie
Date:Tue, 11 May 1999 16:38:59 +0200

Hi all,

the fridge in my '86 Westfalia won't work on gas anymore.
You can pump all you want, the little light doesn't go on.
The stove works, so the propane tank is not empty. The fridge
will work on 12v (I can't test the 110v because I've moved
it to Europe and there is no 110v).

I browsed through the archive and found that it might help
to blow compressed air somewhere up a tube but I couldn't
really understand where.

Could someone enlighten me on the subject and perhaps suggest
other possible fixes?

I hope I don't flood you with postings, but I'd like to get
the bus back on the road after a winter without license plates
There are a few things to fix for the swiss road test (like
the suspension), and for comfort (like the fridge).

Thanks for your help.
