Fresh water tank overflow

When I fill my fresh water tank and when it’s full, water seems to flow from around the whole tank that is in the belly pan.
Is this normal or should there gibe an over flow hose attached to the top of the tank.

I never really paid any attention tooit in the past years, until this year.

Mine did that before I took my trailer in to get it raised and get a general safety inspection. It turns out the top corners of my fresh water tank had cracks that let the tank overflow and leak out. The repair guy had the plastic tank welded. When I came in to check out the repair, the tank was standing on its narrow side like a blue-green tombstone, full of water, not leaking at all.

You might want to get your tank inspected for cracks. I suppose that if your tank uses a rubber gasket to seal the filler neck, that it might be leaking from that filler neck or a leaking hose connection to that neck.

Good luck,
Scott

I would say that is not normal. Other owners with that model year will chime in on what to do. Here are a couple to get you started. I did not find one for your specific model.

I had a similar experience with my black tank flush on my 2017 FC. The connection going into the tank was loose and we had to cut a hole in the belly pan to repair it.

Good luck and I hope some of these links help get you started.
