Fuel tank size on FC-33

[Tim Hannink]

Since my coach has a diesel genset and doesn't the gasoline fuel tank,
is it possible that it has the larger 265 gallon diesel fuel tank that
was standard on the FC-35SB?

Where is the gasoline tank located on the FC-33 with the gas genset?

Thanks,

Your fuel tank is 230gallons, the FC33 is shorter and doesn't have
the space for the FC35 fuel tank behind the axle.

The gasoline tank would be behind the rear storage bin on the
curbside. Most FC31 and FC33s of your era only have the half-length
bin behind the curbside drive wheel, even if the tank is not behind
the half-bin (my 31 did).

That makes sense, I couldn't tell just by comparing photos if the 35
footer had more length behind the rear axle than a 33 footer.

My coach does have a full sized right rear cargo compartment, the
same size as on the left side.

Thanks for the info and clarification.

One more subtle point about the FC31 and FC33 fuel tank is that the
rear leveling jack support structure is welded to the tank and
frame. This means the tank cannot be dropped for repairs or
replacement.

I go the extra yard to ensure no water buildup in the bottom of my
tank.
