 After more than 2 years of non-operation the PBM's
x-SCRTD Flxible "New look" #7103 is now operable again after several serious oil
leaks were repaired by Cummins West in San Leandro, CA.
Mike Sheridan and Ron Medaglia returned #7103 from Cummins West Tuesday
11/25. As they left Cummins West the bus developed a loss of power so they tried to return
to have it checked but didn't make it. Cummins West came out on a service call and fixed
the problem - clogged fuel filters (We don't think they were ever replaced since it left
RTD in the late 1980s). After the filters were replaced they fueled it and it took 49.9
gal of diesel (This should keep it from developing algae in the fuel tank) and drove it
back to Fremont without any problems.
