0pen both valves and let the air lock bleed out…then leave them both open

Subject: [C320-list] Air Block in Water Line

The last time my forward water tank went dry I switched over to the aft tank without shutting off the forward tank line.  I just refilled the forward tank and shut off the aft and now I'm unable to pump water from the forward tank.  This phenomena has been discussed in the past on this site but I can't find the thread that explains how to resolve the problem.  My first thought is to disconnect the forward tank line from the manifold and open the deck cap and let it purge itself.  Any thoughts on a solution other than this?
