Trouble fueling

Envy, sort of...

Simple math.

Keep 14 Anthem = Remain married, same wife

Buy 16 Cornerstone anytime soon = Live on half pay, look for new wife

Good one. Tooooo funny.

I have the same problem. My 06 Safari says it holds 90 gal, but looking at the tank from underneath, there's alot of headroom above the filler necks. I usually fill from the road side with the nozzle on fast fill. If I can fill from both sides, I set the nozzles to slow fill. Either way I top off visually looking down the filler neck and can get another 10 gallons or more -- thats 80 miles! And I tell my computer we're at full to 80 galloons, not 90, so it gives me a bit of margin.


HERE'S A BIT OF ADVICE. Like the tag on the appliance that tells you not to use your blow drier in the shower, you know someone did it, right! Well, if you have two filler necks NEVER TOP OFF WITH BOTH FILLER NECKS OPEN!

I topped off with both filler necks open and found that the other filler neck is just a bit lower than the one I was topping thru. Big puddle of fuel.

Yep...just thought maybe riding in that expensive cockpit was getting to you

On the Poweglide chassis AB the filler neck was so low that the fuel hose was almost perpendicular to the tank connection and everyone had a heck of a time getting any fuel in the tank from the PS side. The solution was to use a metal rod to guide the hose down and allow gravity to carry fuel into tank. I did mine and it worked. I have not had problems with either Anthem or CS. But I would check hose path.

The solution to being able to fuel without regurgitating is move the driver side fuel fill forward of the slide out and up about a foot. Tiffin did this and you can fuel at truck pumps wide open and never get a drop coming back. Now I'm not advocating buying a Tiffin , but Entegra needs to move the fuel filler.
I've brought this up several times, but so far no action. Maybe in 2017 along with the DEF fill on driver side.
Are you listening Entegra, you know who you are? Noel

I have no fueling issues, and suggest this would solve the problem for all DPs. Dual-side filler caps where the "venting" happens at the nozzle.

We could install nozzles like an aircraft too, but that ain't gonna happen either. Noel

I think a total solution that is 100% effective, simple, and low cost would be welcomed. It would make everyone happy!
Nobody knows if it will be considered if it is not proposed.
Trucks have used it for a very long time!

I had those type filler necks on my old Monaco. They didn't fill really any better than the Entegra that has a healthy drop down to the tanks. If anything,the big open neck kind tended to foam more and activate the shutoff.

Mine is always full when it clicks off. No drips. Low tech marvel.
Notice the length and angle of the nozzle.

[CampDaven]

It just. Simply. Works.
Even at full force at truck pumps.

I have some road dirt but no fuel residue

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a fuel level sensor issue. Mine shows full when I fill,however, when I get to 1/8 of a tank, the low fuel warning appears. At that point I still have nearly 40 gallons left.
