1999 Winnebago Adventurer Fuel system Problems

“The problem is with the liquid propane gas (lpg) plumbing on my 1999 Winnebago Adventurer class a motor home. My specific model is the m34vp, the thirty-four foot long diesel pusher. The coach's onboard electrical generator set (genset) is fueled with liquid propane from an onboard tank. The tank has a shutoff valve on the tank to stop the flow of liquid propane to the genset, but no shutoff valve near the genset. …”

“When filling fuel, the gas nozzle stops at about 3/4 full of the tank capacity. I complaint to the dealer where I purchase my motorhome and they said that there are no solution for this problem. Ford and Winnebago are pointing fingers at each other and there are no solution for this problem. Until now, they continue to sell motorhome with this problem.”

“Unable to fill gas tank. Pump automatic shut off stops about 3/4 of capacity. To complete filling tank requires continuously re-clicking pump 30-50 times, each time a small squirt of gas enters the tank. This continues until an additional 10-15 gallons has been pumped, sometime leading to gas running out on the ground since ignoring the automatic shut off (normally indicating a full tank). Winnebago has researched this and indicates this is a ford problem. Ford says they are looking into it (they have been saying this since my purchase in aug 1999). You may email me if you have any questions.”

“Restriction in gas fuel line upon filling gas tank creates enormous back pressure shutting the gas pump off when the vehicle gas tank is 5/8 to 3/4 full of fuel. Secondly, a safety hazard exist in that if you remove the gas cap after tank has pressurized during operation, the back pressure will cause gas and fumes to escape from fill line into face. This design flaw is a health safety and fire hazard. …”
