That’s nice. I assume it works?When I did my stainless I added a stainless bib on each side.
Here is a pic from the vendor website.

The fuel absorbent pads, after use, can be repurposed as fire starters for your camp fire.It does, to a large extent. The other thing I do to protect the rig from the fuel, is purchase fuel absorbent
pads and tuck them under the nozzle when pumping. When it pukes back (happens sometimes even when I slow it down as Joe mentioned above) the pad absorbs the fuel and I can just throw it out.

I bought these and cut each sheet into 4 quarters which makes a good size to catch the fuel. I keep them in the front compartment under the driver window.
Hope this helps.

It will make a difference over time. My KS showed the effects of years of diesel drippings. It will eat up the clear coat eventually. If you trade every few years it won’t make a difference.I've put my ear up to it and tried to listen for the getting full noises, I'm waiting for a diesel ear wash! So yeah, I stopped that and also try to slow down the fill near what I think is the end not only for this reason but also to hope some of the foaming goes down so I can get more diesel in. In the end, is diesel really going to hurt anything? I do wipe it down if it happens but I'm also typically the dirtiest Newmar on the road
