Blue water tank. Help please re water leaking at top at pump.
Messages 1 to 4 of 4.
Today I discovered that water has been leaking out the top of the tank where the pump is located. This seems to be happening whenever I turn on a tap. It looks like the pump draws up the water and some of it leaks out around the red pump cap (quite a bit of water). Has anyone had this problem in the past and also do you know if there should be a seal or gasket around the pump cap. If so, I do not have one and would like some help in sourcing one. Thanks for any help. Much appreciated. Louise

Tank is either filled manually from inside the van (under seating in lounge) by removal of a large red cap on tank or the whole tank is removed from caravan for filling via external opening in wall of van. I dont know the make of the pump. Pump is accessed from the outside opening which is also used to remove blue water tank from holding unit. It makes sense that a seal or gasket is missing from inside the red cap. I do not have a spare cap to check re seal but have been advised Ambergate may be able to supply one. Meantime I am carrying water into the van in the kettle as I need it but find it a nuisance having no water supply in the van. Thanks for your response. Louise

You have to unscrew the red cap & lift it off the pipe & pump lifts uot with it, you then pull the barrel out of the side of the van, fit the other red cap that normally sits on a blank raised plinth on top of the barrel to go and get more water, as i said if you have the second cap u can remove the seal & fit it to the other cap. However i doubt if a missing seal would cause a leak just when the tap is running, u need to run the pump whilst taking a look at the tank to see if it is leaking then. If it is there could be a bad connection or a split pipe, which will need repair, if it isnt leaking then, then it could be as i said, its leaking whilst travelling, in which case just empty the barrel whilst travelling, job done. ___________________ N.E.
