Cummins lsc serial#46171810, diesel fuel lift pump2002 alegro bus rvweather cold. Fuel lift pump lost gasket between mounting bracket and pump, causing fuel to drain onto starter and then ground. Have seen problem many times in past as i'm a diesel mechanic. Most always in cold weather. Same problem each time,loss of gasket, pump still functioning. Fuel leak onto starter is enough to cause fear of starter igniting fuel. Fire danger is in my opinion very high! my rv was parked in drive with no apparent leak. "key" must be in "on" position to raise landing gear,motor not running. The 5-10 minutes i took to raise the landing gear, motor was not started, left a puddle on my driveway of about an 18-24" circle. I do not know the quantity of diesel fuel that was in this circle, but i do know if it had caught fire my rv would have been a total loss before help could arrive.again, i've been a mechanic for many years and have seen this failure numerous times. The replacement pump is supplied with the mounting bracket installed. New pump must not be removed from bracket as the gasket will not "set in" twice. I purchased the first one i replaced twice. Paid for it twice as well. Cummins does not give any instructions with the new pump, nor will they take one back that has been separated from it's base. Cummins is very aware of this problem, as they have service bulletins out for it. The web also comes up with results from a school bus site discussing a recall. This recall lists rvs in it as well. Recall#05e-007i don't expect an answer to this complaint, but would like some sort of acknowledgement it was recieved. I will be "going to bat" with cummins in amarillo texas on monday morning the 21st of january 2008. I'm expecting a heated discussion, as i know first hand the cost and difficultly of this repair. One more time i'll make this repair in the cold and where the truck stopped.les drummond
