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 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. THE ABSENCE OF A VALVE NEAR THE GENSET PRODUCES A PROBLEM WHEN THE TANK VALVE HAS BEEN OPENED, CHARGING THE 25 FEET OF HALF-I…

Owner report 736202 · 2000-11-13 (November 13, 2000)
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 …
