    Does anyone else having extreme slow fueling issues at the diesel pumps im telling you it takes almost 20-25 minutes to fuel even 20-25 gallon's from both sides  ive informed fleetwood there saying there aware and are working on it after looking at the fuel inlets ive determined that there isnt enough fall for the fuel just puddles at the elbow's and kicks off the nozzle ive got an appointment in coburg oregon for that and about a dozen other issues that would take up this whole thread i havent seen any similar thread's on this just thought id ask if it;s just my coach or other unit's aswell

    We have the same model but 2017.  No issues with fueling at all.  I wish I had a solution for you, but these folks on the forum are super helpful. Maybe someone can diagnose your issue.

    Had a similar problem with our 2016 35E Excursion. Fuel leaked from the hose connection to the tank on one side when tank was full and fast cutoff on other. Fuel hose is custom cut and installed by Fleetwood. Fleetwood said it was a Freightliner issue. Freightliner didn't have a part number for the hose so it was a Fleetwood problem. I ended up paying Freightliner to fix one side out of ignorance.  Got Fleetwood to fix the other on the second go around.  Its one of those grey areas between the chassis and the coach so if not fixed already you might need to reason with Fleetwood to get them to take ownership.

    Hose on one side was cut too short causing the leak. Hose was cut too long on the other causing enough of a dip to pond fuel and cause early cut off. Once both those issues resolved fast fueling works fine either side but it is a shallow drop regardless and might need to slow fill the last few gallons.

    I have the same problem with a 2018 Pace Arrow 36U.  It would take forever to just get a few gallons of fuel in the tank.  I posted the problem on the Fleetwood Owners on Facebook.  A couple of people mentioned having the fuel nozzel upside down.  I tried it this last fillup and it did work.  So hopefully there is a work around.  Mine is still under warranty so I am before the warranty expires taking it in to be fixed correctly.

    Well let me start off by saying the folks at the REV service center in Coburg Oregon did a great job on our warranty issues  including that dam fuel issue(now fuels up with no problem) with the 36u so jaime when you decide to get you warranty work done were ever you decide to go have there tech call Coburg service center for that fuel problem fix having to invert the pump nozzle isn't right safe travels

    I have an appointment on the 18 of this month to get it fixed by the dealer.  I believe it has something to do with the vent hoses.  I talked to REV and they said if the dealer had a problem for them to contact REV.  You are correct holding the fuel nozzle upside down is not right.  It does need to be fixed.  I am also getting some other warranty work done at the same time.
