Diesel Hose

Is it me or are the hoses WAY TOO SHORT (especially the diesel ones as i have not experimented with the electrical ones at all)?
I'm trying to refuel a DE4 and DE6 and i can't reach the DE6 while both are in the bay... it's very frustrating as having to disconnect the locos just to refuel them (provided it's just 2 and not 6) is kind of a chore
I search for mods in nexus and couldn't find any that mods the length of the hose... is there something i'm doing wrong???

(i can't find any possible action to map to a button related to the hose, i also search the forums and i can't believe there's no one asking so it's definately something wrong with what i'm doing... right?)

Any input'll be appreciated!
Thanks!

You put the hose in the loco that is parked at the bay. As long as all locos you want to refuel are connected, just choose the loco at the station and fuel up. No need for switching the hose to the other locos.

OMG i actually reopened the game to test it, so simple, yet i don't remember it being mentioned anywhere as far as i read (and i searched the manual)...
this is a game changer

Yeah, it seems a little unrealistic to be able to refuel through the coupler, but it's a welcome feature!

NP :) yeah I don't think I've seen it ever pointed out in game, one of those things you gotta hear from the player base

Or you just try it? It's not too far fetched of an idea.

Nice of the harbor roundhouse is lined in from the tracks to the refuel/repair station also. Sadly, the museum is not the case. Hope they see this post and rearrange the museum to make lining in MU trains to make refuel/repairs easier there too.
