O.K.,   so I had a little drip coming out of the connection into my fresh
water tank after I R&Red the interior to do body and insulation\vapor
barrier work.  I let it go for the season, but this year I decided to fix
it.  I took a look at my other Westy,  Lo and behold, there was an O-ring
gasket tucked into a groove on the tank inlet. The one I was working on had
no such ring, nor was there one when I took it apart (PO\mechanic had been
in there to replace side panel after a crash they forgot to tell me about).
Great, I thought, and switched them.  Problem solved, right?   So sorry, it
leaks a little worse.
Anyone tried using a non-ribbed hose?  Both my vehicles have ribbed hoses,
so I think they are standard, but I can't help but think they contribute to
the problem.
Any fixes out there would be appreciated.
