Any Idea's

[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. 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? Jon

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.

I know other BB owners that have this same configuration of diesel coach
engine and gas generator and they are not having this problem. Why not take
a picture of your filler tube and post it on the forum for us to see.

How about a piece of 1 1/2" pvc that would fit below the cap, but could be
pulled up for an extension. The nozzle weight should hold it in place while
filling.

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.

John, I have a 1981 31' and have not had a problem. As I'm traveling across
country right now, that includes a # of states. I can forward you a picture
of my filler if you'd like so you can compare.
