Chuck,

Thanks for commenting and proving that my memory is not as bad as I think it
is and I'm not getting senile - YET! ;-)

I would appreciate some more details about when you refuel.

1) Can you set the fuel filler nozzle at the highest position and the tanks
fill without it shutting off?

2) Do you have to stop to let the tanks burp?

3) When you get close to full is there any spray back out of the fuel filler
on the GMC?

Regards,
Rob M.

Both my coaches (73 & 77) came with the 1/2" vent tube. It had 3/8"
hose fittings for the rear tank and forward tank and a 1/2" fitting in
front. I am the one that replaced the rubber tubing with 3/8" steel
tubing and kept the vent lines separate all the way to the top of the
left front fender well. NAPA sells 3/8" steel tubing in 25' rolls. As
Rob said this really sped up the refueling process. To see what I did
to my fuel system go to www.gmcpc.org and click on shadetree and third
fuel tank installation.
