Fuel system
Filed Apr 28, 2009

THE FUEL SYSTEM INSTALLED ON CUMMINS 5.9L NATURAL GAS ENGINES EASILY FOULS WITH COMPRESSOR CARRY OVER OIL AND THE VEHICLE STALLS, SPUTTERS, AND CAN NOT OBTAIN MINIMUM ROAD SPEED. BUSES SO EQUIPPED WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE STALLED REPEATEDLY IN DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS AND OTHER HAZARDOUS AREAS. CUMMINS CORPORATION HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS OR CORRECTION OF THIS DEFECT. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD IN THE TRANSIT INDUSTRY RUNNING THESE ALTERNATE FUELED ENGINES. IN THIS TIME WHEN CLIMATE CHANGE AND GOING GREEN IS THE POLICY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS TIME CUMMINS CORPORATION STEPPED FORWARD AND CREATED A NATURAL GAS FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN A REAL WORLD SITUATION. OUR OIL CARRY OVER SITUATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE ENGINEERS AT PARKER- HANNIFIN FILTRATION AND THEY DETERMINED THAT WE ARE SUPPLYING OUR VEHICLES WITH THE CLEANEST POSSIBLE FUEL OBTAINABLE. THIS MAKES CUMMINS CORPORATION 'S POSITION ALL THE MORE OBJECTIONABLE. WE WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO FORCE CUMMINS CORPORATION TO REPAIR THE EXISTING DEFECTS AT THEIR OWN COST AND ALL NEW ENGINES SHALL BE CAPABLE OF USING FUELS MANUFACTURED IN REAL WORLD SITUATIONS. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS DEFECT SINCE THE 1999 MODEL YEAR THROUGH OUR MOST CURRENT 2009 ENGINES. ( NOTE: BUS MODEL IS AN ELDORADO NATIONAL EZ-RIDER II, 30 FOOT, LOW FLOOR TRANSIT BUS. MODELS LISTED ON SITE WERE NOT CURRENT FOR THIS MANUFACTURER). *TR
