Put a "T" fitting on the vent line where it exits the tank leaving the top of the "T" open.  This will prevent the siphon action.

I wouldn't trade the car in, I would sell it myself.  For one thing I don't need another car, I just need to sell one of the two tow cars  I have now.

I have 2 cars equipped to tow.  I don't need 2 cars and was wondering if anyone had a idea how much more a car with a tow package is worth over one without?  All anyone would need is to have the motorhome to car tow bar and a Brake Buddy or such. My idea is to sell it to someone wanting a tow...

Sounds like what I just went through this winter in the south and it was a bad check valve on the hot water outlet, back side of water heater.

I bought a flat key chain light like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pcs-Mini-Super-Bright-Light-LED-Camping-FlashLight-KeyRing-Keychain-Lamp-/121144834371?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item1c34cb7943 and just leave it lay on the ledge at the bottom of the one place panel, easy to pickup to see the read...

Pic of install, note I used a green LED instead of the red one my link was for.

As my switch was good I took the low cost way out and wired one of these in http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-LED-Indicator-Light-Lamp-Pilot-Dash-Directional-Car-Truck-Boat-12V-Red-/171144410466?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d9007562

I was thinking somewhere in the bag of manuals I had seen a chart of the interior light bulbs for our 35L, but I fail to find it now.  Our two light fixture over the dinette has never been bright enough.  I am wondering if there might be LED replacement bulbs that would be brighter.  But I...

There are no lock buttons on the doors.  The only way to lock the 2 passenger side doors and the rear drivers side door is with the FOB or the dash button.  The drivers door only can be locked or unlocked with the key.

I guess the reason I lock is because of a experience my father-in-law had several years ago.  They had left a campground where they stayed for the night while heading to Texas.  As the day went on they had make several stops here and there.  Finally he stopped at a traffic light and when pulling...

There are no manual lock buttons on any doors, only the FOB or the dash button to lock doors.  Yesterday I tried the sequence of readying the car to tow 6 times.  Doors all locked as I figured they should.  After disconnecting the battery I was able to remove the key and lock the drivers door. ...

Not sure what this has to do with my original question. Only one door the drivers door will lock or unlock with a key.  I want all doors locked when on the road or stopping at a rest area.

In my case disconnecting the toad battery is called for in the Ford Manual.  I use a 12 volt booster pack that is being kept charged by wiring direct from the motorhome back to the booster pack.  No power can be applied to the car chassis during towing, so the battery pack works out fine.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus with automatic transmission that is set up to be a toad.  It has the key start not the keyless.  I understand there is a way to go through the sequence of putting in neutral to be tow ready and being able to exit the car to disconnect the battery. After disconnecting the...
