Has Lucy formulated an opinion of the "Smurf"?
She's in Arkansas at my mom's house being looked after. She's not picky though

I'll bet the the Smurf had no trouble climbing to over 10,000' did it?
Nope. But it's also empty inside basically right now. I took it slow, 45ish with OD off, but the RV was doing 20-25 to keep egt under control so it was still around twice as fast. No pyro on the van currently, but the boost gauge seems to work, so I was partly going by that.

I think in your search we found you a good van!!
Travelled Smurf is a great name and hopefully it gets you a lot more mobile over your MH!!

It appears to be getting 15-16npg but it's only two fill-ups so far.

Much better than 8!
But freaking restrictor filler. The motorhome can accept large nozzles. Van can't.

@Cubey I've got a super duty filler neck I can send you, it has the larger opening.
Do they directly fit? It has dual tanks. What years would bolt up, so I might find a second one?

Not sure if it is a direct fit. It has the vent tube as well, I'll send a photo today. I swapped the ones on my truck with ones off of an F-Superduty, was a direct swap. This one is from an 05 super duty

Thanks for that information. I've been considering the same thing myself.
Ok thanks. I'm guessing it's like this, listed on RockAuto for an 05 SD. It looks like a couple of holes drilled would make it fit the mounting brackets I have, if it doesn't directly fit. Filler hose might be an issue is all.
