I went so long without a burp and then on the last trip to Phoenix, the first fill, the thing burped three times.
My wisdom from experience tells me don't stand close while filling, and I run the filler nozzel at the first hold.

Well Deb, the cure for the visual of MangoMike in the buff covered in diesel is a trip down to the local slaughterhouse to help erase the image. When I travel with him, I keep the "Big Rig Book of Slaughterhouse Locations" handy for just such an emergency.
Be thankful that others have taken this one for the team........
I found a way, but it's a pain in the butt. When I get close to the gallons I think it needs, I hand pump as slow as possible and shine a flashlight into the filler tube. You can see when it gets full before burping. Have done this the last two fill ups without losing a drop.
And we all know you have a "special" flashlight especially for this task.......
Jeep, chime in here. It's Krakman airstrike time...........
I feel the tears welling up already.
It seems to me that this would be a simple fix: remove the fuel tank and replace the filler tube with a 3" i.d. filler tube. Why can't Prevost Car just correct the problem by installing a 3" i.d. filler tube. Or does the converter install the fuel tank?
The easy way to avoid the fuel puke is watch the fuel guage. The fuel guage generally will go up to full in "click" increments. Usually Wendy watches the guage, As soon as it "clicks" on "Full", I stop. At "full" you can usually fuel in another 20 gallons. You just need to resist the urge to fill her to the brim. If your alone you have ample time to watch the guage and go outside and turn off the pump when she hits the "full" mark. My maiden ride home with my first Bluebird I stopped for fuel and opened both ports and started filling.....I couldn't figure out where all the fuel was going until I walked to the other side, as fast as it was going in, it was flowing out the other side (slo flo nozzle). I quickly paid and left, I believe that station is now classified as a toxic waste dump.
There's nothing better than starting the day with a belly laugh, especially at the expense of a friend.
JDUB, thanks for the reminder.

From the website."There’s more than one way to the see the light and your victims will learn the surprising truth when they try to turn on this Shocking Flashlight. You can actually use the flashlight if you know the secret. Otherwise, someone gets a strong, but harmless shock."
Quote from Zap Boy, "Nancy, let me try that, there's no freakin way a small 3v flashlight can give you shock" zaaaaaappp.
Tom you either just became my hero, or you win this month's dumb ass award.
After the bath I took filling my coach (after 15 years with the other and nary a spilled drop) there isn't enough money in this world to get me to peek in that filler tube while the hose is putting fuel into the tank.
Do you have any intention of posting it here if you get splashed with #2 while doing your flashlight fill?
