I had read in another post about a guy breaking off the barbed fitting on his water pump when trying to remove the line from the FW tank to winterize so I was a bit skittish when I started. That is why I was surprised when the WP fitting just unscrewed off easily and solved the problem of removing the barbed fitting from the hose. I saw the hex head fitting on the FW tank but it never crossed my mind to unscrew that. That is what I really enjoy about this forum. It's like standing under the shade tree in your home town discussing the best way to soup up your '68 Chevy with your gearhead friends but in reality you are at the PC and the DW is saying "that's all you every do is talk on rv.net":)
