On the beginning of Day #11, of our trip from the Chesapeake to Naples, via Miami, Nellie's engine started occasionally changing RPM. While changing all the fuel filters I found the secondary (the one physically attached to the Cummins) filter to be half fuel and half air. The air probably got in while priming the new tanks' fuel lines.
Changed the Cummins' oil and oil filter.
I've been fighting a Cummins coolant leak. The reservoir was losing about 1/4" per 10 hours of running. I could find no leaks around the engine. I now believe the coolant is escaping via the reservoir's cap—I just found it's cracked! The last bottle was replaced because a seam cracked, now this one's cap. We'll know in short order if this is the problem or not.
