Diesal filling

I had an rv that was typically thrown together and the fill nozzle hose was too long so they crammed it onto the inlet pipe anyway. It thus had a serious kink in it. Cutting a bit off the end and reinstalling it solved that issue.

Spill check is what this thread is about, and venting... Something us Old reprobates are dang good at.

Most likely suspect is a poorly routed VENT hose. If there is a drip loop in it/sag in it fuel can cause the fill to back up.

So, crawl under and verify that the small diameter vent hose goes only up hill from tank to vent port on the filler neck. If that hose was cut 4" too long (so it has a sag), it will add 10 minutes to your fill time!

Pretty sure all that will do is put more fuel on the ground. Oh, you did not realize he meant very very "it takes fuel vary vary slow"

Pretty sure you only have one fill... if not take the cap off the other side to increase the venting. My 98 Beaver was borderline slow and it turned out to be a partially collapsed rubber elbow... hard to get to.

Welcome back.

Are you using the the fuel station.Had some pumps have issues when it's very cold out.Went to another station it was fine

Could be bent fill hose or how it's routed. Even clogged somehow.

Option F,

If all else fails slip a 3/16" hose from the filler to the tank. Then fill. Works every time for clogged tank vents. Just make sure your filler CAP is not clogged.

The nozzles are bigger in the truck refueling lanes so my tank fills real, real fast. However, I don't have the problem others are describing.
