How do you fill the tank, with a garden hose squirting in a large inlet (gravity fill) attached to the large white hose in the photo, or do you have a valve to direct city water (pressure fill) to the tank?
Usually if you have a gravity fill system the vent hose follows the large fill hose to a screened vent.
From what I can see, water will follow the hose you installed and dump against the belly. That will happen while filling and on the road. What is to keep dirt out of the vent?
It is a gravity fill system. I set it up so that the hose I installed sits higher than the overflow hole. When I fill I'll have the bottom valve opened. Once it starts overflowing I'll close it and then it won't go over the top of the other hose. At least that's my theory. I'm not too concerned about dirt getting in. The opening of the hose sits pretty high up, and it's a small opening, and if some did get in, it would then have to make its way all the way down the pipe, back up, and into the FW tank. Possible, but I think unlikely.
