I wonder how many trailer fires are caused by this type of problem?

It almost makes sense to put a valve right on the fuel cell so that you can travel (with the valve closed ) with no chance of fuel spilling while towing.

I do know one of my Division 7 friends drains his cell after every event.

The more replies I read here, the more I think I should do a webinar on how to properly assemble, leak free American made AN fittings and hoses that will provide trouble free service life for decades regardless of fuel used.

I made up my first -6 fuel line in the early 80s with Earl’s fittings and hoses.
