Steve,

I seem to remember a discussion here noting that fuel getting into the vent
line is what causes the filling problems. My GUESS is that since the ride
height sets the rear tank lower than the front it fills first and fuel gets
into the vent line and causes problems.

I intend to drop the tanks on Double Trouble and remove the rubber lines
that attach to the fuel tanks and replace them with Poly Armour tubing and
compression fittings. I also intend to cut holes in the floor so that if I
need to service the fuel level senders I will be able to do it from inside
the coach and not drop the tanks.

If I need flex lines they will be Teflon lined braided stainless steel.

Regards,
Rob M.

Correct.

I gave thought to the double 3/8" lines but prefer to go the original way.
I think, that if done correctly, I.E. no kinks or other restrictions, it
will work properly.
