I have a c3 fuelmaker. There is no pwr to the electronic module. I have 230v pwr to the unit but nothing is pwring up. I have tried to reset. but no luck.
Is the module in need of replacing. if so where can I find the parts for such.

The C3 model FuelMaker has been out of production for quite some time.
You will need to call FuelMaker to see if they still stock an exchange electronics board for it.

There is actually 3 fuses on this board. 2 standing in black tubes and a third fuse laying down on the main board itself. (Most people miss the third fuse) pm me if I can be of any more help.

Re: c3 fuelmaker malfunction

I am having a similar problem with my C3. The unit shut down and was showing a shut down fault code 201 which I believe designates the unit not dropping pressure properly after shut down. I reset the code and the electronic control module lost power. We have 220V to the unit and the 2 exterior fuses are good. The interior fuse blows immediately when I send power to the C3.

Any advice?

Re: c3 fuelmaker malfunction

I recently had a control module failure that was blowing one of the two exterior fuses, not the little one on the board. My best guess would be the control module,.....but,.... a failure in the electronics module itself might blow this fuse.
Code 201 is "failure of blowdown system" and the service manual states to "Fit new Control Module".
Odds are that it is the Control Module, but there is a slim chance that the EM might be at fault. I have gone through the trouble of replacing the control module under similiar circumstances only to discover that the electronics module itself was at fault.
Good Luck !!

We had that code when the unit shut down so I vented the line and hit the reset button AND THEN lost power to the control panel.

With everything but the 220V power supply connected we still blow the small fuse on the circuit board, which has got to be a short somewhere on the board.

Any idea where to get a new electronic control module?

I need to locate a spare 3000 PSI hose/connector and a 3600 hose/connector. I have 2 units that can fill 2 vehicles at the same time. How much are your parts please?
