Fuel Truck adapter to fill Coach
« on: September 30, 2021, 03:14:29 AM »
I am looking to have fuel delivered to my coach by a fuel truck.  No diesel on my island and $100 for the ferry just to get to a station that has diesel.  Has anyone heard of an adapter to step down from fuel truck to coach diesel fill?

Thanks,

MJ

   Mike, I am pretty sure a truck fill nozzle will fit into your coach filler neck, however it would be slow going because of the flow, you would manually have to hold the handle. Perhaps better than your alternative. Fred

The bulk fuel truck driver should have a couple of different nozzle extension fittings that he can screw into the nozzle.  You might call the fuel company to make sure they understand what they will be filling so that the driver can be sure the different sized extension fittings are in the toolbox on the truck.
