RV Totally Stranded For 25 Hours...What Happened?? (My 96 Newell Coach Broke Down!)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After an unsuccessful overnight wait, the owner contacts a mobile mechanic service called 'Semipro's' for assistance. The mechanic arrives and, after a preliminary assessment, suspects the fuel pump. The owner is instructed to remove the existing fuel pump from the engine. He uses an adjustable wrench, Vice-Grips, and WD-40 to loosen and remove the fuel pump from the engine, facing some difficulty due to tight fittings and limited space. After the new fuel pump is installed, the mechanic attempts to start the engine using starting fluid but it still fails to fire, indicating the fuel pump was not the underlying problem. It begins to rain during this process, making conditions more challenging.

Goal: Attempt to resolve the no-start issue by replacing the suspected faulty fuel pump.
