If your truck is older than 5 years, Volvo's Mack brand doesn't provide you with a corporate contact number for assistance. But you can try +1 (866) 298-6586. Your question will be, does the Mack brand publications department (if it still exists) still offer the TS442 service manual (pictured below). This book will largely cover your truck. If Volvo no longer sells it, you can look on eBay. . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-403919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The Mack Museum may have copies on hand, submit a request through the museum drop-down on the corporate web site. A suitable donation is appreciated. For a Waterous Fire Pump manual, call Waterous directly (have the pump SN with you) and they will send you SN specific manuals for the pump and the x-fer case. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-403981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upper Cloverfork VFD Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hey guys I appreciate all your responses. I am wondering what this is called. It is pouring fuel out the top. I need to replace it as we have the pump lined out on it and it is ready for fire service after we replace this.

Upper Cloverfork VFD Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Greetings, Can anyone identify what this is. I am by no means a Mack mechanic however with low budget of our fd we have to turn our own wrenches to stay afloat. This is located behind the passenger side rear wheel behind the frame. It is right off the fuel filter. It is pouring diesel out of the top of this canister. I humbly appreciate all your insight.

kscarbel2 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The picture isn’t clear. Does it have a coolant hose running to/from it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-407491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I thought it looked like the old power steering ram. Not a good pic but he said fuel was leaking Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-407492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks like an added cartridge fuel filter can.

If you cannot repair it, bypass it. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-407665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upper Cloverfork VFD Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Thanks for your help. I did bypass it. Runs great, no leaks!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-407868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I wonder if the previous owners added it due to poor fuel quality from their supplier? If you guys are in a cold location, pull that thing out an replace it with a Raycor heated fuel/water separator.

CF600 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Looks like a Bendix booster pump for fuel . That bottom looks like a 1\4 turn and it will come off exposing a filter. Is that where the leak is? If so check the rubber gasket and carefully adjust the retainers for the cap. When you turn the batteries on did you hear it run? Could be a switch on the dash also. Not sure but this is my guess 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54501-1983-mack-mc611f/#findComment-408116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
