[A/S] Re: Dump Tank Valve
Hi Jerry, Do both valves feel the same when you push them in & out?
Do both handles travel about the same distance? Some times some paper
or some thing else gets stuck in the valve which stoppes it from
closing all the way & that can give you the condition you discribed.
I had to have one of my valves replaced about 10 years ago. They
removed a belly cover & the valves were right there. It looked like a
hard messy job & was well worth the 2 or 3 hundred dollars I paid to
have them relaced. There is a place called RV's of Sacramento on El
camino Ave that a few people I know recommends their work. Maybe they
would check it out for you. Their phone # is 916-648-1314. You also
need to put a lubracant in your tanks to keep the valves working well.
