Filling with fuel, problem?

[sawdust_128]

H3's sometimes become possessed at the pump. In order to exorcise the fuel deamons, I start at a slow fill rate. After about 30 seconds, I can begin to increase the fill rate, usually to full speed.

I also raise the coach on the side from which I am filling and don't open the opposing fill cap.

I know that this all sounds weird but it was a lot better than the guy in the Liberty XLII next to me who was out in front of his coach drawing pentangles on the ground, casting eye of newt, and sacrificing lambs all while beseeching the maker "Hello, can you hear me now?".

So far thats the one problem I have not had. I fill from both sides at the truck stops,nozzles wide open and thus far the nozzles shut off with no spillage. Have also used one nozzle onlywith the same results. Most of the time I leave my engine running, maybe it should be off. I have the 208 tank.

I fill to within 10 gal of what the pro-driver tells me I have used and then shut down pump to absolutely slowest setting. Get within 2 gal or so, I just barely trickle it in. Worst puke so far is about 1/4 cup or so. If been running the genset, just guestamate another 3/4 gal per hour run time in my required fill cyphering. Works great so far.

Jon, Our "H" puked using only one fill. It didn't matter which side you used. End result was "splash back" My preventtion of puking fuel, was to estimate how much we needed from the Pro Driver, then when we had filled to almost that amount from the pump reading, I would back off the nozzle flow to a trickle, listened for fuel entry tonal change and stopped fueling when the pitch of the entering fuel started to raise higher.
The new coach, with its single fiill, gulps down all you can put in her as fast as you, and she doesn't belch.

40 foot, single side fill. Never a burp.

Two side fill without an upgrade that Jim Shoen installed in his bus and you have to step back and let it spit fuel.

Although new here, one of the first lessons we learned was to avoid filling our H3 on the driver's side; passenger side only and no spills, no burps since. Gloves are a good idea in any case.
