filling water tank problem

[Dick Noble]

Had to pass this along, I've had problems filling the fresh water tank in our '08 Challanger. It would work OK the first time but the next time I tried to fill it, it would not fill - kept spitting the water back at me! I would then use an air compressor to blow out the vent/overflow line and it would work OK for the next time. I thought there was a blockage in the vent line. Not so - figured out it is a design error. Filling the tank till it overflowed caused the vent/overflow to fill with water. The vent line is above the fill line so it would not vent. I'm going to move the vent/overflow line to under the 5er, like every other 5er I've ever owned.

Ansious to know if your trick worked? Mine is the same and i think at one point the fill hose goes up to high and creating an s shape making it hard for water to go in.

Iparin - Yes, it did work!

Now I have to find one of the valves that fit the vent hose that will let water/air out without letting bugs in. I have seen these on other 5er but I'll be darned if I can find one or even the name of it. It is plastic, not metal and very

sorry, the end should be "light"
