Re: Yellow powder in fresh water tank vent tube
I forgot to take a picture when I was up there briefly this afternoon, but there is definitely a spot where I believe the tether strap at one point would have attached to the left side of the filler cap. I may have to make some modifications to this area, but I find it odd that it took eight years of ownership for this yellow powder to become visibly noticeable and restrict the vent. I reinstalled the perfectly clean vent tube today, so we will see if it happens again. Thanks to everyone for the help.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Yellow powder in fresh water tank vent tube
Lynnmor.... I do have an exposed fill cap and exposed vent screen like in the picture you linked to. But mine does not have the little cap tether strap, it just has a small 1/8!inch hole in the center. I used to assume that was to help venting, but after seeing your picture I’m thinking that the tether strap broke off mine sometime before I bought the trailer. I will be up by it probably tomorrow afternoon and I’ll get a picture.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Yellow powder in fresh water tank vent tube
So here are the pictures of what I shook out of the vent hose into a coffee mug By the way, I had meant to say a cup of bleach mixed into my 30 gallon tank, not a quart, but that still sounds like double the recommended strength. Better than 8 times the recommendation though. The yellow powder was all at the tank end of the 2 foot vent hose, right at the fitting that is molded into the tank itself.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsYellow powder in fresh water tank vent tube
I’ve owned my 1999 trailer for 8 years now. I start every spring with a flush out of the pink antifreeze in the plumbing, followed by a sanitation of the fresh tank and pipes with a quart of bleach mixed into the full 30 gallon tank. Last week when I went to service the system, I noticed my half inch diameter clear vent tube was clogged with dry yellow powder for the first 2 inches coming from the tank. I removed the hose and tapped the powder into a white coffee mug before washing out the tube and reinstalling. Could this be from filling up the tank in mountain areas with high mineral well water? Should I be concerned? I’m having trouble trying to attach a photo today5.8KViews0likes17Comments
