Water Pumps & Holding Tanks

[Steve Quandt]

My filter and regulator are under the bed
on my 1993 but it looks similar to yours, the small black line to the regulator
should be from your air system to blow clear for winter.

regulator you are talking about on the filter could be the air

regulator for the winterizing blow out system. Better check it out

closely. You screw that up, a check valve goes bad and it can load up

water in the aux air system. You don't even want that to happen and I

assure you will not like the result.. I am serious. Be careful with

that deal and trace the lines down before doing mods. Mine has an

additional ball valve added to prevent the problem.
