[C320-list] FW: Re: fresh water leak

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

I have found that if I have the forward tank full AND have both tanks feeding into the pressure pump, then the forward tank will siphon into the aft tank and overfill it. (For reference, I have the pump and valves under the aft berth). I need to feed one tank at a time or keep the forward tank no fuller than half.

Subject: Re: [C320-list] fresh water leak



We have a fresh water leak somewhere, and so far haven't been able to  locate <br>it. It pools in the furthest aft bilge section and under  the sink/cabinet <br>area. (We removed  the teak/holly sole).  None  of the lines or connections <br>(including the hot water heater and pressure  pump) under the sink & cabinet <br>drawers are leaking.  We removed the  cabinet/drawers to clearly see all the lines <br>and connections.  The forward  tank doesn’t seem to be leaking. Are there any <br>connections not easily viewable  to the aft tank?  Do the water lines ever <br>chafe through or crack in funny  areas and need replacing??  Any ideas??? <br>John & Bobbi   -  Holokai  2<br><br>
