Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Bad fuel in tank or a dirty tank?


We just made our longest trip in the RV, 1500 miles to Florida In our 2002 bounder. Lost engine power twice along the way, requiring fuel filter replacement. Fortunately was able to get to safe locations to make the repairs.

how do you get the tank cleaned, and where do you go to get it done?

Than you in advance

any service center should be able to do this.....make sure you run the fuel down low.....also you dont mention gas or diesel but adding some type of water dispersant such as Sea foam or dryGas (Sea foam is best) will help alot....if you have had 2 filters changed you should be about done with what ever is in your tank......good luck

If its diesel try running Power Service, either the grey bottle or white, can't remember which is which. I always carry spare filters. Easy to do a roadside change if I had to.
