The 3 hole unit is not recommended as one will forget the plug off and
realize few yeas later when it starts leaking fuel that will hit the hot
manifold
I have been paid by fw insurance company to evaluate the cause of fires on
these coaches, and seen most to have this problem.
The other error is cutting the steel fuel line between the Fuel pump and
the carburetor.
Most instll an filter there. Very good location, but bad as again people
will forget to replace the rubber hoses and again a fire.
I'm not really sure if the new fuel hoses will last more than 10 year.
We have had couple of owners that saved their coach by having the Fire
Fight extinguishers.
The main bennifit of these are that it does not leave a residue that damage
the electrical components.
I always have people call and ak me to do an appraisal on their coaches
after an mishap and back date for them.
I will not do it as once I do, then my evaluation has no credibility.
I feel good about doing appraisals for people as it will protect them in
case of major damage..
