Vinyl tubing wasn't my first choice either, but I have to reduce from a 5/8's to a 1/2, and I couldn't find a shark bite or watt's quick connect that would do that. But just like any old pipes, you fix one area and exacerbate a leak in another. Anyone know where I can get an auxillary tank for my old Ambassador? Thanks again.

Haven't figuted out what the blockage is yet, I'll have to take a closer look this weekend when time allows. I will be sure to let you know what I find. I am willing to bet it's solder. I had a leak a few months ago and was not getting any pressure. I had an RV repair man fix it. He put the elbow in, got things up and running and sent me on my way with a "don't ever bring this back to me again" remark. The blockage was in the newest addition to the piping. Oh well, he only charged me parts so I won't cry foul on that one. These things have quite the learning curve!

I have bought tanks directly from the manufacture at about 1/2 the retail. It has been a while so I don't have an name or number at this point but do a Google search for RV tanks and you should find several.

They have a wide variety and if I remember will make custom tanks

For the curious. On a previous repair, the shop put an elbow on the line. Apparently, it was a "thermocoupler"??? elbow for some type of temperature control. Anyway, it had a spring in it. The spring built up sediment and that is how the line was clogged. Weird, but that is what happened. Thanks again for all of your help.
