Clogged Fuel tank vent
Hi - own a 1993 27' sundancer and have noticed that my fuel vent system is
clogged and not functioning properly. Not sure why or how it got there, but I am looking for a practical way to free up the line. Because the fuel tank is not properly venting when it is being filled results in a slow fill and more likelihood of spillage due to overflow. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx... |

I don't have a good way to unclog it but I might know the cause. In my RV the wasps sometimes make nests in small confined spaces. Spiders also. You might put a small piece of tape over the vent while in storage. Just a guess. Good luck. Scott |

If you reach both ends, replacing the vent line would be the best. |

Hi
Can you see the pipe? It could have become 'kinked' and hence pass little or no air. Alec "Jet Red" wrote in message m...

A kink would certainly be it... I'll have climb down intothe engine
compartment and check that. The vent line runs down the port side and I am not sure I can track it through its full travel. Thanks for the suggestion... "Alec" wrote in message ...
