I am pretty sure I already know what I am going to do on this one, but am keen to get some more input to see what you guys think.

We picked up our new van yesterday and drove from the dealers, 100km home. When we had arrived home, and I had just pulled up outside, we noticed water coming quite strongly from the underside of the van into the road. I got underneath her and saw that the water was running out of what I've been told is an overflow pipe. The dealer said it was ok and I shouldn't be worried and that if I keep the van level then water won't come out.

I have issues with this advice though. They know that we will be using this van off-road, therefore it will be subject to leaning etc... Surely this means that we will constantly be losing water? Secondly, having an open pipe directly into my two tanks...... does this cause a health issue??? Wouldn't insects, principally, mossies, be drawn toward the water and possible get into my tanks?

I am going to have a tap fitted on the two over flows and will open them when filling the tanks.

So, just throwing this one out there and interested to hear what you have to say.

Cheers
