Gas leak

topic posted Wed, March 29, 2006 - 6:45 PM by  lori
Ok, here goes...I have an older Mini Winnebago that I travel in during the winter. The last few times I filled it with gas it leaked. It only leaks when I fill it so it seems to be a problem with the pipe running from the opening to the tank. It looks like there is some kind of an overflow or air flow tube inside the opening and I think this may be the problem. Any suggestions?

        have you replaced the regulator. I had an old tent trailer I had to do that on. Not that hard. just look it up on the internet

          It turned out that it was the air tube(?) that was feeding off the stem. I found I could avoid leaking by the way I held the gas nozzle. Kind of a pain in the neck but simpler than replacing it.

            Don't mess with the gas. Replace the tube or whatever you have to. Safety first. With explosives don't go with the easy go with the safe.
