ALLEVIATING DIESEL PUMP BURP?

[Wayne Kotila]

I allways fill with the big rigs at the truck stops and what has worked for meis to fill the tank on high untell about the 3/4 full point on the fuel guage, then slow the pump way down for the last 1/4 of tank. On my 1985 PT40 that I just sold there was the 3" filler neck andIwoud wrap a bungy cord around the diesal pumps hose and hook the two endsof the bungy cord on the inside lip of the fuel door opening on the rv so Icouldcleanthe wndshield. My wife would let me know when we were at about the 3/4 tank level so I could slow the pump down.

Howdy.

Jack and I are having a "discussion" . He doesn't want to use the truck islands to get diesel fuel because of the pump burping. He gets fuel down the side of the coach and on his shoes even though he has both fills open. I like the cash price and it is easier to get into and out of the truck islands. Solutions, suggestions, ideas as to how to solve this "discussion" ?

TIA,
Liz
