Any Idea's - Jon - 06-20-2005 02:30 I went out yesterday and I was going to fill the diesel and my regular gas tank and ran into a problem? My bird is 33 foot long and it has a Diesel engine and a gas generator and there for I have two tanks. I filled the diesel tank up but when I went to fill the gas tank up I could not get the pump hose into the proper location to fill up the tank. I have a lockable door that opens and the fill pipe is located inside and below that door. I cannot get the nozzel to fit on the pipe tight and part of the fuel that I was pumping just ran over the side of the gas tank pipe opening. I think this is because of the new type of nozzels used today have a rubber seat on them and I can not get this into the location of this fill pipe. Anybody have this same problem? I can always fill by using a 5 gallon fuel can but does anyone know of another way?

Why not take a picture of your filler tube and post it on the forum for us to see. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 05:15 PM 6/20/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Jon, > See if a muffler shop can bend/fabricate a piece of steel >pipe to act as an extension tube you could fit into the opening >and then put the fuel filler nozzle in the extension tube. > > George Witt > 81 FC 35 > Lincoln, Nebraska > > >--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jon" > > I went out yesterday and I was going to fill the diesel and my > > regular gas tank and ran into a problem? > > > > My bird is 33 foot long and it has a Diesel engine and a gas > > generator and there for I have two tanks. > > > > I filled the diesel tank up but when I went to fill the gas tank up I > > could not get the pump hose into the proper location to fill up the > > tank.

The nozzle weight should hold it in place while filling.

Jon No, it doesn't. The filler nozzle has an air bleed for the automatic shut-off. If the air bleed is blocked, it thinks the tank is full and shuts off the gas.
