Is that plumbing fitting what the plumbers
call a 'no hub'?


How flexible is it?

Any chance someone has a Home Depot part number?


Have I asked enough questions?!?

Not sure what a 'no hub' is but HomeDepot labels it as a Flexible Coupling, Model P1056-22, at their on-line site, normally used to connect two pvc pipes together and allow you to take apart later. After cutting it at an angle it is not very flexible but will push over the gas fill rim after removing the gas cap.

Well, here is another Missouri guy that had so much trouble in California the last two summers that I have broken my filler tube loose. At one Shell station we never did get it to work. Got to figure a way to fasten the filler tube back up now. I think Quartzsite, Az. will be as far west as the GMc goes this year.

I guess that we all need to make one, as the Obama crowd forces their beliefs down on us.
Thanks for the excellent photos, following the instructions, I can even make one. :)

Dan,

Same thing happened to me. Way out in the desert
(heading to Burning Man one year), pull in an
old 'fillin' station', guy says nope.

So I says 'what ya mean, nope'?
He says 'I know them
GMC coaches and you kan't gas up here'!

'Takes way too long, I don't have that much time to waste!'

We turned on the California charm and he finally
agreed to sell us some fuel.

Dan,
It the magnetic latch still on the upper side of the filler door
opening on your coach? That topic came up at the last SJS rally and
most have must moved the magnet to the side or used velcro like I did.
My coach lived in CA for 8 years before we moved here and even though
it was often tight, all pump nozzles fit.

Mine had no magnet (probably removed by a PO to solve this problem),
but I still could not seat a filler nozzle all the way. When I had the
inner panel off to replace the fuel hoses and fix the floor, I made a
modification which has solved the problem for me. I removed the filler
from the fiberglass and enlarged the opening in the fiberglass to
allow the filler to be installed about a half inch closer to the
outboard edge of the filler cavity. I reinstalled the filler with a
custom foam gasket, and then sealed around it with polyurethane caulk.
No gas can get into the inside even if I overflow the tank, and all
nozzles (so far) have seated easily.

But I would still like to devise a way to move the filler down by the
tanks without encroaching on the interior, which would solve a host of
problems, not just this one.

Yes, the magnet is still there but does not work on my stainless door. I need to take it off. Don't need it as my door stays closed on it's own anyway.

Hi Rick, I'm definitely going to look into moving the filler when I do my
tanks. Finding a route in a 23 I think looks pretty easy. I've got space in
the dinette area that goes far enough inboard to reach the edge of the tank.
I'm actually thinking of a fill for both tanks even though the crossover is
there (which I am not a big fan of) The filler necks would be about a foot
or so below the beltline, recessed in their own aluminum boxes and then a
couple of those cool round billet aluminum covers to hide the caps. Having a
gas filler so high up right under the window as it is now was designed by a
retarded person. Not only does spilled gas run down the entire coach it can
run down the beltline trim and actually enter the vehicle. What were they
thinking.!!!!

Thanks,

Gary,
Darren Paget moved his down and aft. The opening was just above the level
of the top of the tanks and he used a filler with the backsplash flapper
off of a newer car. I'm not sure but I think Dave Mumert has the coach and
maybe he'll chime in here or you can contact him off net.

Hi All

I wish I had Darren'c coach! I hear it is still in the Calgary area but I
have not seen it since Darren sold it.

Here are some pictures of it
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=21103

Darren replaced the the dual tanks with a large single aluminum tank. With
the new filler he could fill with the nozzle set to maximum and have to
splash back.

If anyone knows the name of the new owner pls let me know. I still show
it under the Paget's purview.

Well, there goes another myth. I had always thought you ended up with that
coach Dave. Especially, since haven't seen you for as long as I haven't
seen the coach.
I figured you were just waiting for retirement and then you and the coach would
show up with all kinds of trick stuff done to it.
Pretty trick as it is though.
