5 Gal DM T@b Water Container Question

Member Posts: 45
Hi everyone! I have finally played around with my water pump on my new to me 2005 DM T16 Tab. It works well except.....I am a bit concerned about the hissing noise and pressure build up within the container. Should I just use some plumbers tape on the cap and ignore or should I be concerned about the pressure? It’s coming from the large cap, not the smaller cap with the connection to the pump line. Thanks in advance! Oh and I searched the yahoo group with no luck as well.

The larger cap should be slightly loose to allow it to draw water better.Carol

I guess that makes sense to have it vented while using. Thank you for your time!HB 2009 DM T@D@ being towed by 2021 Subaru Ascent Asheville, NC/Clayton, GA

The hose cap needs to be tight with the gasket between the flanges of the dip tube and the hose. The other cap is loosened / removed when in use to vent the tank and tightened during travel to prevent spillage.There is a photo of the pieces in another thread in this forum somewhere. BELOW
