Our Hymer fresh water tank, which has a gate/wheel control, that turns a metal rod, which closes the plug at bottom of the tank. is dripping. Have tried flushing it, to dislodge any offending bits. Any ideas?

See you come from Kent. Does your water supply come from the North Downs. Plenty of chalk in the water supply. Good for bones and teeth but no good for water containers. Looks like you need a decoke on the water valve.

IF YOU CAN´T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU´VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

How about white vinegar, or citric acid from your chemist. I have used both (though seperately) to descale expensive shower heads, as well as kettles. No damaging effects at all.
The Hymer book suggests the use of white vinegar to descale the stainless steel hot water boiler.
HTH,

As a side issue i have been on to Hymer uk / parts today......ooopps sorry now called Brownhills !!!
Very helpful , but was told that its likely to be a " O " ring that commonly needs replacing, but the trouble being the tank stands at about 1200mm high and the valve at the bottom is controlled by a long metal connecting rod at the top of the tank. . It can be done but looks very tricky.

This is a late reply to the May posts about dripping water tanks. We had this problem from new (May 2007) it eventually got fixed by Brownhills, Canterbury under warranty in January 08 by having to remove the tank and fit a new one. I believe it was a difficult job and the delay in getting the job completed was the time it took Hymer to send the new tank. All is well now
