Water Leak

[Gregory OConnor]

one of the reasons I fear filling he holding tank too quick and modifying the
fill path is splitting the tank when the water cant get out as quickly as it
gets in. I wonder if that is why the gateway to the tank is restricted and takes
so long to fill???? the overflow to the tank is a pipe in from the top that
extends into the tank more than 1/3 the way ( I can only guess it is a way to
keep dust out??) . it exits the tank then makes two 90 deg turns then has a
longer run past the bottom of the tank.

You are correct water flows down acted on by gravity however in the overflow it
flows up acted on by suction caused by gravity (I would guess this is also true
north of the border, seen it happen south in Mexico). a simple cut or vent atop
of the overflow will satisfy the suction with air and elevate the continuous
overflow. my tank once starting to over flow will run for what seems like five
minutes

>Chuck, I recently removed my comode from my 89sp and if I recall it exposes the
water line from the sink to the shower. All you have to do is remove the top
half of the comode where the big hose clamp is, leaving the bottom half attached
to the floor. There will be a hose to disconnect at the valve, but its not hard
at all. Iput on a kit that replaces all part on the step valve.
Hope this helps you
