You're both brilliant and kind! But I'm trying Ernie's fix first.

A quick -Ernie fix-- turn your water pump on, stick a pencil in the inlet and pull it back out, see if that resets your valve.

Greg,
Sounds like a check valve malfunction in the Inlet/Regulator/
Check Valve unit. I replace out by taking the unit out and going to a GOOD plumbing store. I told the fellow that I wanted a nipple/check valve/hose connection combination that equaled the same length as what I handed him. Took him maybe 5 minutes to come up with all the parts. I made the mounting out of aluminum.

I did without the regulator and bought one that I can attach to the Hose/water faucet at the camp grounds. Saves the hose too.

A writeup and photos should be out on this site. Might try WOG site as well. I'd email you the writeup and photos but right my main computer is out of commission and the info. is on it.

Good luck.

Hi Folks -

Filled our tank last night for our trip which is supposed to start today. Water is now leaking out the tank filler connection. Pump is on, filler sporlan valve switch "off". We will be in campgrounds the next three days but after that we are dry camping and need to conserve water. Any ideas?

Thanks!
