ALLEVIATING DIESEL PUMP BURP?

[birds_first]

After taking several diesel baths I started watching the problem and I came up
with a sure fire solution. I measured the fill spout length down to the coil on
the inside of the fuel tank. I think it is about 12", I cut a 18" piece of
1.75" top rail pipe, drilled 4 holes about 2.5" apart in a stright line from the
tank side on my inserted pipe. Now everytime I fill up I insert the fuel nozzle
in the pipe that I insert into my fuel spout/tank. I have never taken a diesel
bath since. What happens is the diesel goes through the pipe allowing air to
escape the fuel tank outside my pipe. Normally what happens when you fill your
tank fuel fills the fuel spout and blocks the air escape from your fuel tank
this is what is causing the burping of diesel. I'll bring a few with me to
RATS.

I have an insert in the fuel fill that is supposed to prevent the "burp" but
only reduces it at the high speed pumps. At the slower pumps it works great.
Besides we can all usually time the fuel fill at the end of the day so we are
not losing driving time.
