Don't Overfill your Gas Tanks
We filled both our aux and gen gas tanks on the way to our first long (2 week) trip. After we got to our 1st camp near Parker and had been in the sun, we noticed the fuel station area smelled like gas, and looked down and saw dripping. I pulled about 5 ga from the aux tank, and ran the gen for an hour or so to use some. I had filled both tanks to the top and then did 2 top-off clicks. Don't do that! No leak or gas smell at all now in 4 days since then but if someone had thrown a cig under there it would have been toast.
