William, you asked;

<< How much bleach should one put in a full tank of water to help prevent
the growth of algae? I just cleaned my tank and do not want to go through
the hassle again. >>

   I wouldn't want to hazard a guess, but it's gotta be an extremely
small amount when yer talking about chlorinating just over 13 gallons of
water.  I suggest you call your local water provider to see whether they
can answer your question.

   BTW, are you certain that your outside hose bibs are filtered water?
If so, you could always prevail upon a neighbor or fill up at a gas
station.  We travel with a minimum of water in the tank and fill up at
campgrounds.  Driving with a full tank on a curvy road will definitely
give you a feeling of the tail wagging the dog.
