2000 25' safari fresh water leak

[dcsawLoehr]

I was filling my fresh water tank which normally fills until water comes shooting out the overflow. however this time, the water started flowing out from around the tank. I don't see any leaks inside the trailer. did the tank spring a leak? did I do something wrong filling it.

next question, if it is the tank, anyone have a pics of removing the FWT?

Hi, you might have filled it too fast with a hose with too much pressure. Or maybe it froze with a full tank. I would open one of the lower cabinet doors, where the filler hose is and see if this hose or maybe the vent hose has come loose or came off of the connection.

x2 on what SUNRUS said, and also that water fill tube tends to crack due to age and can cause a leak.

Found pretty much the same thing on our Classic...when FW tank is full, constant drip until level falls below lower vent hose connection....hose leaking around the clamp.

I can see it but can't get to it without major interior tear down.
If the clamp had been a worm style instead of crimp I think I would be able to "git-r-done".....oh well SIL.

Now listen real hard and shut off when it starts to gargle, or wait till it spits and drain some out.

This is probably a silly suggestion, but you didn't leave the drain petcock open a bit by any chance, did you? I usually leave mine open over winter and sometimes upon first filling in the spring remember to close it only because of the water draining out under the trailer ...

My airstream is stored about 45 minutes away, I hope to go have a look at it this weekend. I'll post what I find for others. hopefully as simple as a leaking vent. and not actually a cracked tank....
