Do they sell any devices?

[Ron Thompson]

Hey, I have a question here about the fuel tanks. I have a 1995 WL Wide body
with 300 gallon capacity. The first time I fueled up, I got a backup bath. The
next time I filled up, since there are Fuel Inlets on both sides I opened them
both up and never got a back up. Was that coincidence or are those two inlets
going into the same 300 gallon tank.

I have owned this bird only since about July and really don't know whether there
are two seperate tanks or just one with two inlets.

Anyone out there have an answer. Would appreciate it.

up with fuel from backing up and splashing you?

I was just wondering as if you ever lost that hose in your tank you
would be in a world of hurt.

Oh yes I notice that the my 78 when I tried to fill it up at the high
speed pumps it just won't accept the fuel and there again it backs up
and oops all over you!

My friends David Beatty motor home doesn't do this and I guess its
just the design of the tank and the fill pipe.

You would have thought that the Blue Bird corporation would have made
a special fill pipe in the first place so you wouldn't haft to fiddle
around with a plastic hose dropped into the tank to keep it from
burping back on you.

While were on the Blue bird agenda have any of you removed any of the
cabinets up front? Boy you talk about a hash job of fitting the back
of these cabinets over the front tire wheel well. When I removed
mine it looked like some kid out of the fourth grade cut the curve
fit as it just looked like dog poop!!! Steve Anderson has noticed
this also in his coach also. Million dollar coaches when it comes to
looks but get behind that look and see what kind of ship shod work
some of there installers did back in the 70's.

Oh well I wonder if that goes on today????

Got an estimate on installing higher gears in rear end and it looks
like it will be around 2000 dollars (4.88) (Now how do I get the
money out of the bank without my wife finding out?).

Hay you guys have a great day and its just a wonderfull rainy day up
here in Washington.
