During a road test of a motorhome, what must you do after switching fuel tanks?

  1. Turn off the ignition

  2. Wait for 10 minutes

  3. Drive at least 3 miles

  4. Refuel the vehicle

The correct answer is: Drive at least 3 miles

After switching fuel tanks in a motorhome, it is essential to drive a certain distance to ensure that the fuel system operates properly and that the vehicle transitions smoothly between the two fuel tanks. Driving at least 3 miles allows the fuel system to stabilize and ensures that the engine receives a consistent supply of fuel from the newly selected tank, which is important for maintaining engine performance and preventing potential issues like sputtering or stalling. The other options are not necessary or relevant to the process of switching fuel tanks. Turning off the ignition is not required, as the system can usually be switched while the engine is running. Waiting for 10 minutes could be impractical and unnecessary for ensuring fuel system integrity during a test. Refueling the vehicle has no direct correlation to the act of switching between tanks, as this action pertains to the management of existing fuel reserves rather than their replenishment.
