How much fuel???

[flyu2there]

Jon,

While I agree that fuel will seek its own level, I also believe that the high speed pumps shoot the fuel in faster than the inter connects and venting systems can handle, hence the spitting. I do not know how the 45's are plumbed, but on mine, the main tank is filled from the nozzle. Other 40's have the aux tank being filled first. I have never been spit on even at max pump speed, perhaps it is the single fill, perhaps it is because the main is taking the fuel...dunno. My best guess is that once my main fills, although the aux is filling as well but at a slower rate, I get the auto shut off and the overflow is absorbed by the aux tank...no spitting mainly because I have extra room for additional fuel. My gauge reads full and I think that my tank (s) are at capacity when in reality I may have a long way to go.

I also have a 98 Prevost and a 99 CC. I have the two tank configuration.
The 160 tank is in the 3rd. bay curbside with the sending unit in it and the 90 gallon tank is just in front of it only visible from underneath the coach.
It is about 6" wide and goes all the way across the coach.
Both of my tanks are white plastic and connected with a rubber hose. (I know it is much more sophisticated than plastic, but thats the best I can do for now.) CC would never use common plastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think some of the problem in only putting in 180 gal is that, as I have come to learn, Prevost fuel gauges are inherently unreliable. I have put in 224 gal (after running out)
I have talked to many people who swear that all coaches have 208, but for some reason the 40 footers we have do have 250

Why not just measure the dimensions of the tank(s) and calculate the capacity? number of gallons!

Standard fuel for a 40' XL is 160 gallons, standard fuel for a 45' XL is 208. The Prevost aux (long range) tank is 90 gallons, so 250/40' or 298/45'. Sometimes a converter will do a custom aux. tank, and the dimensions (capacity) can very considerably.

According to the CC literature I have from when my coach was new in 1999, 1998 chassis, all 40XL have 250 gallons while 45XL have 208 gallons.

My Liberty has as large a tank as I can afford to keep filled
