    Default How much fuel???

    I have a 99 CC conversion built on a 98 shell and its a 40 foot model. I am in a running debate with another gentleman (not a Pog Member) who insists that I have 250 gallons in two tanks, a large 160 gallon tank and a smaller 90 gallon tank. My refueling, even when I have run close to m t has never been greater than 130 gallons. So, at the end of the day, whats an easy way, without getting too greasy to determine the tank configuration...Prevost manual shows 160 with a 90 gallon option. My configuration only has one fill, RHS, the one on the left is the Glendinning Power Cord. Ideas...........

    You have 208 you ole tin driver, if you had 250 you would have a Liberty! Have you ever found the 2nd tank? I know you have had every panel and compartment apart. You can almost see the hose connection area underneath without getting under the bus. Quit working on that Seneca and get a little dirty!

    I ran my completely out of fuel once upon a time. Specs stated fuel capacity at 208 gals.

    I pumped in 215 after the road service guy put in 10 gals.

    I do know that without a doubt that I have only one tank.

    I told the gal at the cash register that I could only hold 208 - whats up with this?

    At least you went to see the clerk at the register, unlike one of our POGGERS that filled up and then made a get away while pulling a toad too!

    Sounds like the weights and measures guy is long overdue! Could well be a "technical" adjustment by the fueling station operator to mildy increase the bottom line........

    It stated our coach has the extra tank. ( 160+90=Total 250 per fuel door tag) However, we have been able to pump in only 185 gallons when the guage is between a quarter and empty.

    Default Hmmm

    Without my doing the math, has anyone thought about a difference being metric?

    Tom, have they given you any indication as to how long that's going to take to heal?

    Sorry for your troubles.
