Subject: | Fuel vent modification |
Here is a simple way to keep mud-dabbers from clogging your fuel vent.
I
think more than one RV has collapsed a fuel tank from a clogged vent.
Take a few inches of 3/8=94 aluminum tubing, cut one end at 45 degrees
or so,
then JB Weld on a piece of aluminum window screen material. Once the JB
Weld is cured, clean up the edge on a ScotchBrite wheel or similar. Do
a =BE=94
cut in the other end for a hose clamp, then slide this over the now
somewhat
shortened standard =BC=94 vent tubing. Have the =BC=94 tubing extend
well past
where the clamp goes.
