GL: RPM surge

[Dennis Bruckel]

Dan DeBruin asked...

On the way from Atlantic City to Manasquan. The 6-354 Perkins diesel has
started to surge. Appears random. Goes up about 150 RPM then right back
down.

Dennis replies...

I'd bet caused by high vacuum in the fuel line pulling some air in. Change
the filter, and also look for leaks.
