I noticed you are running the engine every week to keep the coach charged and ready to go. Unless you are prepared to drive your coach about 40 miles you should not start the engine. Weekly start ups will only add water to the engine that will not be evaporated by engine heat produced by an hour's drive. It is far better to let a diesel engine sit that start it without an extended drive. So far as keeping your coach charged, you should leave that up to the battery chargers.

Thanks for the advice, I noticed the spitter tank on the bottom has what appears to be some type of removeable bushing that extends up into the tank about 2". It looks like it is designed to be removed to drain any oil or water in the tank below the 2". I plan to remove the bushing to determine if the oil and water is below the bushing and has accumulated over time above the 2".
