VAN LIFE IN THE EPIC MOUNTAIN RANGES Of Lillooet BC. And meeting @EFRT
My name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.

Hey just stumbled across the channel and have gone down the rabbit hole watching back to backs...I was just watching. the live stream playback and you mentioned that when you opened the gas cap you heard a suction sound, Yes this is why your van had no power as your fuel cap have to vent style for your van, if the new cap is like old school you need to find one with a vent. if it happens again just pulll over and remove the fuel cap for a bit and try again, Great Channel and have a great day

Making it out safely despite uncertainty about what caused the issue is a remarkable achievement. Your resilience and quick thinking in navigating such a challenge reflect your strong problem-solving skills and adaptability. Embracing the uncertainties of van life with such determination is truly inspiring. Your ability to overcome obstacles and continue your journey with a positive spirit is a testament to your strength and adventurous nature. And I am Floating Village Life.

Glad you made it out safe chrome something I thought about if your dumping from one tank into another tank I'm guessing your sitting on E on the tank maybe it's stirring up a bunch of crap at the bottom of your old tank and mixing it into your fresh fuel thats a old gas tank I wouldnt surprised if dosent have crap at the bottom the tank

@TomLentz 2 месяца назад

If the lack of power happens again, try removing the fuel cap and see if you hear a hiss. If you do I bet it works again for a while. Could be something with the new tanks and a vent line being misrouted or disabled. Not real likely but a really easy troubleshooting step.

@exploringthewideworld 2 месяца назад

I spent the night in Lillooet last September on the tail end of a bucket list road trip through BC and Alberta and you drove by both the place we ate at and stayed at in downtown Lillooet. We saw bighorn sheep in between Fountain Indian Reserve (above Lillooet) and Pavilion. And the lake you stopped at (Duffey Lake) - we stopped there too - it was GORGEOUS! And this is too eerie - we stopped at Marble Canyon too! But we had the opposite of you - it was COLD! Our route was a massive loop - started in Vancouver, drove through the smoke in British Columbia and the Cascades out to the Rockies and Jasper and Banff in Alberta, and then went north and came back west through the north back to Vancouver via the west and north (got close to Prince George but then turned south as we had to be back in Vancouver) - all in 4 epic days! It was so beautiful, and it was an amazing road trip. Breathe taking. Mount Revelstoke National Park, Wells Gray Provincial Park, and the Cariboo Plateau were some amazing hidden highlights. I really enjoy each of your videos and adore Cruzee! Looking forward to the next video!

@virginiacaston1456 2 месяца назад

I think you're on the right track making sure that the fuel filters are good. I would be looking for any fuel lines that are close to exhaust or the engine that may be boiling the fuel. You did say it was bloody hot!

@bik2survive583 2 месяца назад

Faulty gas cap, it shouldn't have pressure on it when you open it.

@larrybergman6075 2 месяца назад

It sounds like your van had vapor lock, and when you opened the gas cap you released the vacuum pressure in the tank and now your van is running good again until it happens again.

@TonyPhillips-jy7ev 2 месяца назад

Just air in the lines I’m guessing when you pumped gas from new tanks first time

@dianerossetti3245 2 месяца назад

If the day was very hot and you have been running a long time my guess would be a vapor lock. It's not common these days, but way back when, it happened fairly regularly. At any rate I hope your problems are solved with that new fuel filter.

@yasik9393 2 месяца назад

So i know when people do the Pikes Peak competition, they have to drive up a mountain and their cars lose power. It happens mostly because of the gasoline in your tank moving away from your fuel pump at an incline and also the lack of oxygen because theyre high up. Not sure how high you where and how full your main tank was along with how long you where running the car, but may be related to that.

@DocJ58-OCB 2 месяца назад

Hey Chrome, I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but could your problem in the bush the other day have just been a "vapor lock"? ... I had an older truck that used to do almost exactly what you had happen when it was really hot out. It happened the first time climbing over the "Hat" from Victoria to Duncan, and a couple of other times before I figured out it was just hot, my truck was under load, and climbing (and it happened the first time right around the Split Rock viewpoint, so right near the crest of the Hat) ... I ended up having to put in a bigger Rad and a shroud (didn't have one before) and that seemed to stop the issue... I don't know what your engine bay looks like, but if this could be your issue, and you don't have a shroud, you may need to put one in.... anyway, peace out and good travels to you and Sir Cruzie Bear, from Doc, in the Great White (now all summer green and sweaty hot) North of southern Ontario, Canada 🦫🦫🟥🍁🟥.

@containyourlife 2 месяца назад

Hey Chrome, my guess is air in your gas line. I have experienced that before. It was discovered that I had a pin hole in my gas line, and I was told air in the lines possible cause. Let us know what Lorne thinks. Miss my BC, enjoy seeing the beauty. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Chrome .. .. Engine Control Modules need to "Learn" how to deal with actual Operating Conditions.. .. the computer is given basic information to get started .. and there may be some stumbling .. prior to learning how to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing for the big hill... That may very well have been the cause of inadequate engine performance. A few common automotive parts .. tucked in a cabinet .. is always a good thing.. even if it is going to help someone else.. Keep on Vannin'.. !!
