Camper shell fuel filler neck

[FMcClaren]

Has anyone got this filler neck from TransferFlow?

I,d like to put one on mine but I have the tank

box comb and TransferFlow tells me it won,t work.

I,d like to know how they hook in the vent on

a in bed tank.

Thanks for any help

Bed tank filler

I just tied my tank vent with a 3/4 hose and 'T' to the OEM tank vent line, then bought a 2" pipe X 2' hose aluminum fitting, and using a piece of marine 2" fuel hose connected it to a through the hull Diesel Fuel deck plate mounted high on my topper. Has worked great since '94, now on third truck.

Thanks for the reply C D.

My tanks got a small vent line (5/16) Tied into the OEM

Vent line but I thought if I made the filler neck 2ft. long

I might have a problem during fillup. Have you had any problems with fuel backing up during fillups?



Thanks again

Aux Tank

Frank ---- Suggest you install a vapor fitting that will allow hooking up a 3/4 hose and go to the 'T'. Even with the 5/16 restriction you will have a better vapor flow than if you maintained 5/16 all the way. I have no problem using the big pumps at truck stops, but I remove the main tank cap before filling the aux tank. My procedure is to fill the aux tank first with both fill caps off, then fill the main tank. This procedure eliminates a back up while filling.

Also be sure to use 2" filler line. You can get it at any large boat marina along with the deck plate.

Good Luck, Denny

Thanks for the tips C. D . I,m going to give

it a try next week . I was going to go

with TransferFlow kit but your way sounds

a little cheaper. I,m not a boat person so

I didn,t know were else to get this stuff.



Thanks a lot ,Have a good one
