    Hydraulic head fuel leak

    Last summer, 2019, we were cruising around in the M35A2 when stopped at a light it died. It’s never done it before so started it back up and the light turned green and then drove off. No issues after that until we stopped in a parking lot and turned it off. We ate and went to start it up and...
