Here's how I beleive it all started. Right or wrong I have been getting my 12volt supply for my water pump from a terminal that is in my rear baggage compartment as I was trying to do a few other things I accidentaly grounded this wire out and now I have no power at this terminal. This is the only thing that I believe it could be as I drove it in the shop just fine and now it just rolls over with no fuel.

Hi Brian
Sounds like you may have caused an open in the wire to the skinner valve that moves the fuel rack to full off.With the run switch on, see if there is power to skinner valve. |

OK, I gatta ask, Why is it called a "Skinner" valve?? I am assuming that this is what I would call a diesel stop (fuel cutoff soleniod). I had one go on my Kubota gen set enngine. Dick Wright assisted me in the t-shooting over the phone.
I was wondering if Skinner is a manufacturer's name or a slang. Hope your bus is operating again, Brian...
Have a great week.

Gary, ( a skinner valve is an air/electric solenoid valve) used to control air flow to operate small cylinders such as shutdown & other stuff.)
On to the First Guy,
Does your bus have an electronic engine?
If that 12 volt terminal was a factory install, Is it possible that it is in the power feed circuit for the ECU/DDEC computer?
You will need to locate the fuse block that feeds that circuit. Could be in the battery compartment?
Technically you should not tap into any of the 12 volt "factory" terminals to run RV appliances especially if you don't know what or why that terminal exists and what it's there for.
If in doubt run your own 12 volt feed line to operate pumps and accessories and fuse or breaker it accordingly.

Dr.Dave's reply is spot on. My 6V 92 is an 88 also and is DDEC, (just not an MCI). It is fed from a 12V breaker in the battery compartment close to the Vanner 12V power supply.
