Default Update

Well now I have filled the tank to what appears to be about 2 inche from the top. The tank level is showing a full tank. It is holding water and nothing is coming out of the overflow. We did find a white plastic assy that I thought was a capped off thru tank fitting. My buddy said if you put your finger in the end of the thing there is a spring loaded valve there. Now if this thing is indeed siphoning itself almost empty the overflow outlet must have a vertical tube similar to the fuel pickup for the generator. If this is the case then pushing the valve we just found should break the siphon. Also if I disconnect the fill hose and place the selector valve in the "fill tank" position should also break the siphon as soon as it clears itself of water. It would be interesting to see exactly how much water 50 gals is in the tank. That is what is the advertised capacity.
