2006 ALLURE FUEL TANK PROBLEM?

Yahoo Message Number: 22342
We are returning to Junction City next week to get a few items fixed under warranty and hopefully an explanation of our fuel tank problem.
During our first two months and approximately 2200 miles I have needed to fill the tank more frequently then expected. Not because of mpg but because the engine cuts out after we have used about seventy gallons.
The tank is rated at 135 gallons. Even allowing for the fact that getting a complete 135 gallons into the tank might be impossible it would appear that when the coach thinks it is out of fuel there is probably 40 plus gallons still inside.

It acts as if the pick up tube is set too high in the tank.
On our prior Intrigue with the 110 gallon tank I have run it down to ten gallons on a couple of occasions (not recommended!) and never had the engine quit for lack of fuel.

Anyone with the 2005 or 2006 Allure had a similar problem?

Thanks, David

they may have the fuel hoses backwards at the connections, and the feed is hooked to the return nipple instead.

I have heard of another coach where the fuel line was hooked up wrong. The engine fuel line was hooked up where the generator/hydrohot fuel line should have been hooked up. I don't know if this is your problem but it sounds like it could be.

We had the exact thing happen to us in a SOB. Got stuck on a long steep mountain grade with the tank 1/3rd full and nothing getting to the engine. It was strange that I was on the cell phone to the factory service guy when it happened. He knew instantly what the cause was as it happened on a grade. Told us where the lines where, which were easy to reach, so 15 minutes later we were off again.
The panic of running out of gas on a steep grade (in traffic) won't soon be forgotten.

We reversed the hoses. Top to bottom and bottom to top. BTW: The California Highway Patrol Officer that stopped to help, said that he had seen it a couple of times on the same grade (Highway 101) coming north from Pismo Beach. The system in the SOB was pretty simple to say the least.
