I wonder if it was the cap that was the problem? do you think one of the newer fuel caps would work any better on an older RTV?
Messicks hooked me up with a new cap years ago when I got a bunch of tractor filters from them. Used it with the old gasket doubled up over the new one and solved the leaking problem on mine. Still is a wrestling map to get on and off. I only have to fill about twice a year so it ain't that big of a deal. Sure beats slopping diesel all the time. Thanks again to Neal.I wonder if it was the cap that was the problem? do you think one of the newer fuel caps would work any better on an older RTV?

Hey muleman,
Pick one of these up. Have them at parts store or walmart. We keep a pair
under the seat of the RTV's at all times. Works like charm on removing the
damn fuel cap. ( oil filter pliers ). Good for the nerves !!!!!

My objection is that the fuel tank opening is recessed too deeply inside the cab ... its position makes it unnecessarily problematic to pour in fuel from a can. QUOTE]
I agree with you Heatwave !!!!!
We use the Mr. Funnel when fueling up. And we have engineered a hose at the end that routes to the opening of the RTV's fuel tank.
I'm just happy the RTV's get the fuel milage that they get or I'd be pucking everytime it's time to fill 'er up !!!

Does it take two people to fuel your RTV? ... one to hold the Mr. Funnel in place and one to pour the fuel? I can't visualize how just one could both hold the funnel and pour fuel.

If Mrs. Two Guns in around, she will hold Mr. Funnel, but if not.
I just strap it beside the grab-bar and start pouring. Not really no problem.
I have the bigger Mr. Funnel, so it makes it easier to work with and faster.
I use military jerry cans and metal safety cans with spouts......
That Mr. Funnel is the thing to have for any type of fuel. Be surprised how much " junk " this thing captures.....
