1988 FC water coach heater question

[pattypape]

BRuce,

Another thought:

If you are curious as to what a Sporlan Valve looks like.
The fresh water tank fill Sporlan valve is located under the
bed, left of the hotwater tank, near the fresh water pump.
THis also will need cleaned or repaired eventually.
