That sounds weird! One time, when I was too far from another supply, I used a B43 to get me out of trouble. It was as close as I could get. To tension it, the generator was so far out to the left that the belt touched the rubber part lower water outlet near the radiator. I laid a piece of aluminium under the hose clip to prevent it wearing through and replaced the belt some 4,000 miles later.
