Re: Protecting fuel tank from theft
Thanks for all your info. Drilling fuel tanks is happening here by police reports and car dealers complaining. It is parked in a safe place in my yard. The thieves don't care they steal lawn furniture right off your deck. The Sewage sticker is a good idea. I thought of putting an outside cover of stainless steel. Please note I am in one of the better areas of the city. At $8.55 a gallon for regular gas some will do anything898Views0likes0CommentsProtecting fuel tank from theft
I have a Class A rv. The 75 gallon fuel tank is open underneath the floor. With high fuel prices people are drilling holes in the bottom of vehicle fuel tanks and draining the fuel. Has anyone did anything to prevent the tank from being drilled Thanks4.3KViews0likes14CommentsRe: fleetwood grey water drain problems
I got the camera and checked the vent all ok. Drilled a hole in the tank and checked in the tank. Some sediment in the bottom. Flushed tank with a garden hose. Took slide valve apart and checked drain pipe Wondering if there was more sediment took a pail and slowly filled the tank through the kitchen sink, amount was right at 45 gallons. Drained tank back into a pail. Parts of a pot scrubber with sediment came out,from Where?. Installed a black water flush system to grey water tank to seal the hole I drilled in the tank. When it drains now it comes out with force and no problems with back up in shower drain.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: fleetwood grey water drain problems
I bought this unit in June and did not seem to have problems at first. It only has one grey and one black water tank. Fleetwood said the problem might be the vent pipe has slipped down. When I get home I will do more investigating. First talk to the previous owner if he had this problem. A plumber friend has a camera to check out drains etc and the tank. Will advise what I find. Thanks for all your help.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: fleetwood grey water drain problems
I don't understand it either, grey water tank is mty, I put a garden hose down the vent and water ran out of the gate valve drain so the vent is clear. It is plumbed the same as a house sink drain plumbed with a vent stack. The water to drain is 1/2 tub of one side of a double sink. Seems if the water will not let air go up the stack. I even instead of plugging the stopper right out, just only lifted a bit but did the same thing. Quess it is a good question for a Fleetwood factory rep.529Views0likes0Commentsfleetwood grey water drain problems
I have a 2009 fleetwood terra 29vs.If I leave the grey water gate valve open and drain the kitchen sink it drains ok.If I close the gate valve and drain the sink some water comes up into the shower. Have checked tank roof vent,changed the small vents on kitchen and bathroom sinks. Does anyone have other suggestions. Thanks3.7KViews0likes14Comments
