leak in gray water tank

[Leroy Eckert]

The holding tank is some form of poly. The surround on mine is metal. It took me a couple of hours to figure mine out because you cannot see inside. If you pull out the two screws in the dump valve and pull the guts out and if the rubber is rolled up instead of flat it can leak. It can leak up to the top when the tank is full.

The actual leak is coming from the bend in the tank where it turns up to make the side. It is a pretty good ways away from the dump valve, and after I dumped the tank, the leak stopped. So, I'm not sure. I guess, I'll fill the tank and see what it does and report back.

Are you referring to a pin hole in a weld? If so that should be the surround for the tank itself. I thought I had the same kind of leak two years ago. That leak turned out to be a bad paddle rubber in the dump valve which allowed water to seep out the top when full. The water flowed behind the dump valve and followed the bottom of the pipe into the surround for the water tank making it look like the tank was leaking. Just a thought. > > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors > Dahlonega, GA > Royale Conversion > > --- On Wed, 8/6/08, coreyg67 wrote: > From: coreyg67 > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] leak in gray water tank > To: "WanderlodgeForum%40yahoogroups.com" > Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 9:50 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > Ok, I guess I'm getting my BBird baptism.
