Subject:overfill Water Tank?
From:Rich Durant
Date:Tue, 13 Jul 1999 08:34:42 -0700

Last weekend I noticed a drip of water coming out of the bottom of my
Westfalia where the gas lines go up through the floor into the kitchen. THe
drip eventually stopped and I still had plenty of water in the tank.

I think I could be overfilling the water tank.  I'm pretty sure I've always
overfilled it if that's the case and some how got away with it.  Anyway
when I got home I topped up the water tank and the drip started again.  It
stopped when the water level got down to just below the inlet from the
outside filler.  Water is not leaking from the filler hose itself.

Two questions:
  - Is this the max I should fill the water tank? (bottom of inlet)
  - Is there a vent hose that's blocked or something?
