Re: 46 Gal Transferflow Diesel fuel tank

From at least 2007 and newer, SMB West has done "something" to change the fuel tank vent. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the new ones. I knew about this fueling hassle when I ordered mine at the end of '06 and was assured the problem was taken care of, and it was. Older tanks need to do the mod. No point having a 46 gallon tank if you can't use it. At my age, I can't afford to spend any extra time waiting around to fill the last six gallons....

A little off topic, but -

I've seen many references to age on this forum. I'm guessing since SMBs are a little pricey (compared to a tent) that maybe our average age is 50+ (62 here) and not too many in the under 30 crowd. I know I couldn't afford more than a tent and motorcycle travel 20+ years ago and now I don't feel much like sleeping on the ground (or getting out of a tent in the middle of the night).

Re: 46 Gal Transferflow Diesel fuel tank

[off topic] Mike, At out Moab meetup the last few days, we commented that four of us were in our 30's: Jage, John&Dana, REF, me. We were kind of surprised by that. Of course Angel is as young as us in spirit and so is Myriad!

29 and 30 When we took delivery of our Rig! When people investigate and find out how much SMB's are, they think were drug dealers or something (disclaimer: We're not )
