1995 Bounder Fuel (gas) leak
Question, is it ever normal or acceptable for gas to leak out of the top of my fuel tank near the filler hose. We filled the tank and it was topped off all the way. My son parked in front of his house...

On the Ford chassis the tank is behind the rear axle, the filler inlet is behind the license plate ,
The height drop from gas cap to tank entry is very shallow, with a very long filler inlet hose,
Topping off the tank at the inlet, results in an Over Full tank and 8 ft of inlet hose that is full of gas, it Will leak, No IFS ANDS or BUTS
Mr. Wizard, the filer location is not a function of Ford but is located by the final manufacture. Yes Fleetwood does locate the filler behind the license plate.

AND if it "leaks" it IS the fault of the RV manufacturer, not the vehicle manufacturer!
I can assure you, more modern chassis even that long remote filler must not leak what so ever.. Any SLIGHT LEAK WILL FAIL EMISSIONS, PERIOD! Aftermarket manufacturers cannot "bypass" required emissions systems and the tank test is a required test for emissions.
