Fresh water tank leak

[Danorske]

Hi,
My 08 Tuscany 4076 water tank has a leak after filling it up. I think it's coming out the vent/overfill tube. How does one access and adjust this thing? It drians almost half of the water over time.

Thanks,
Ron

If the leak stops at some point (2/3 full, 1/2 full, something like that) check the screws where the sight gauge trim is mounted. My 08 Astoria had long screws that should have been trimmed, and they worked their way through the tank wall.

i found it when i removed the panel, some brain put some LONG one in

however if you remove the lower BIG panel on teh passenger side access door, you can get to the vent and filler real easy,
hint, remove the three white screws holding the filler cap thingy first, then the four black screws and sort of bend the plastic panel enough to get teh rear edge up and out

Thanks Dan and Robert,
I'll give it a try next week.

OK, since it's only 103 degrees out side and I could stand in the shade. I got ambitious and took the panels off. and Walha!

Dan hit the nail on the head!

The top 2 screws have been rubbing the right one made it through. Now I'll use some "J-B Weld" and fix the leak.

Thanks Guys.

i am glad to see you found it,


doesn't that get your goat, knowing the screws were put in wrong from the start.
mine is right next to the "W"
