I tore a hole in my
water tank n repaired it and no leak there . But now it seems to leak from the upper top back end of the tank and not where the hoses go in so is that a breathing hole or is something missing?? So is this why the
hand pump wont work when pumping either?? Any advice is greatly appreciated and thx . Regards Geoff

Most water tanks have a breather in them, some are internal and have a pipe connecting them back to the filler cap, others are just a beather in the top of the tank.
The hand pumps are notoriously unreliable. Probably has damaged O Rings or the valve is obstructed.
Do you have an electric pump as
well?
Lots of people I know end up putting a small in line 12 volt pump in instead of the
hand pump. But that pre-supposes that you have a battery in the van.
