[Rhodes22-list] Water tank

[Alexis Seigneurin]

Hi all,

I just wanted to follow up on my water tank situation.

I pulled the water tank from the boat today and... the label says it’s meant to be a gas tank!

I also activated my water pump to pump antifreeze directly, and it worked fine, so this confirms the pump itself is fine, and the intake from the tank is clogged.

While emptying the tank, I saw lots of (smelly) debris. I think I am just going to replace the tank at this point. It’s cheap enough to do so.

Thanks all for the suggestions. This gives me a few things to try.
I will let you know of my progress fixing this problem.

Alex,
First of all, from reading on the List, there seem to be as many different
water tanks as there are R22s! Mine is, of all things, a plastic Rubbermaid
storage box!. Yours seems to be a more substantial and APPROVED type of
container. I'd consider changing the pump. They're not expensive. You can
probably get the old one out much easier, test it and if needed change it
out.
