Fuel Tank, Pax Side. This was done by a Cummins Shop. I'll remove the panel and expose the tank.

Transwest changed a wind sensor on or roof that makes your job look professional.
I complained to manager who said " well it won't blow off " then reluctantly offered to redo it next time I was in for service !!!
Well John like they say, want it done right. Well you know the saying. :o
It's like the marine saying " if you can't tie a knot, tie a lot!"😜
Wow! That's so thick it probably isn't even dry yet.
Pitiful work.
John, was that amount put on to stop vibration at the tank filler were it comes thru the fibre glass cover?

I suspect there wasn't much thinking that went into this job except maybe to use the entire tube of silicone. I didn't own the coach when this was done.

I'm not going to post my pics of the crappy caulk job that was done on ours (That I still need to take of, it bothers me after a fresh paint job.) Caulking is one of those things (like taping and finishing sheetrock) that looks like, "anyone can do it". Yup, anyone with an eye will say, "Who the hell did that?" >:D
Jor,just so us slow ones know,which coach is this on?Are those all your coaches?Is there a stainless tank behind the caulk?What
are the screws into?
This is the 97 270. The other ones are past coaches (fickle and impulsive). Here's a pre-cleanup photo with the panel removed. (I prefer to see these hidden components) As you can see, the tank is directly behind the panel and the panel on the right is a standard vertical compartment wall which on this rig separates the tank from the batteries.
Speaking of the batteries, I'm thinking this coach came with wet cells so the two black vent tubes above the tank and the floor vent hole were necessary. It has gels in it now. I wonder if I really need to vent them. Could use some advice on this. I intend to replace them with AGMs but they are still going strong even though they are ten years old!

Reason I was asking,I have a 96 270 and does not have the white covering.
Jor, your coach came standard with 2 8d gel type batteries.
Thanks, Bill. Guess they need the venting then.
