Default RE: REMOTE FUEL FILL VALVE

Thank you LSP what I am 'railing aginst' is both fueling valves and third lines. That should be apparent and the reason I now never use either.

I agree with you completely on the fueling valves. Now I never said third lines with fuel dots won,t work of course they will with some additional work.

However third lines do have more failure modes than a two line system. Perhaps thats why I made the move back to two line system long ago and it was because of the most obvious one of all. Just one to many times shifting through the dirt lookiing for the lost fuel dot.

To this day the very few at our field who still use the third lines its only these fellows I do on occasion see on their knees shifting through the dirt.

I can say I have never found one yet that the simple split two line system that I have presented photos of would not work. And a third line system was actually needed, never.
