I have owned diesel pickups for years and have never had a problem with diesel foam coming out of the tank when I am dieseling up at the station. I've only had to fill my R27 3 times now and every time I have made a horrendous mess with foam coming out of the intake pipe. I am told that two of the reasons for this might be that: 1) I am filling the tank too quickly. 2) The fuel input system in a truck is significantly different than on a boat and that is what causes part of the problem.
The previous owner installed some sort of device that whistles when the tank is being filled, but failed to tell me if the whistling means I am filling too fast; if I should stop when the whistling starts???
Has anyone modified their fuel input line so that it is like the one on a truck that doesn't foam no matter how fast I fill the tank? What did you have to do and was it worth the time/expense?
Also, does anyone know what this whistle thing is trying to tell me?
Thanks,
Scott
