The previous owner of my 77 coach supplied me with an accessory for assisting with fueling. It is made of 1-5/8" ID steel tube, probably exhaust pipe. The layout is as follows: draw a straight line about a foot in length, 8" from the end draw a line down at a 36 degree angle, mark the new line 6-14" from the intersection. This is your pattern for the top side of my fueling accessory. Cut the 6-1/4" leg end back at a 45 degree angle. You may have to tweak the dimensions a bit so that the top end hits the door sill as shown in the photo. This prevents the thing from falling into the tank. With this gadget I can fill the tank without the problems mentioned above but you do need to be there as the auto shutoff may not shut off when it should, but usually foam starts spilling out before liquid overflows.
