Water water everywhere...
Posted: 21 Jun 2020, 09:53
Morning,
first post and new to the world of T25s. Looking for advice if possible...
Driving round M25 yesterday (not for fun) and had lots of people flashing me. Turns out I had water pouring out of the van. Pulled in to services and discovered that the internal water carrier which had a newly installed pump had been pumping 20+ litres of water out into the storage cupboard. The water had then seeped into other cupboards and was pouring out the bottom of the van through a couple of vents in the bottom of the van.
My kids had been allowed to play in the van in the morning - don't ask, the wife and I are having ongoing discussions
I discovered the 12v electrics had been turned on but don't know if/how they had turned the pump on to work without the tap being turned on (or could tap blockage result in water leak in cupboard area?). There was a smell of a fuse being burnt out and this was coming out of the Electrolux vent on the outside of the van which I presume is for the fridge but if it was a fridge issue why did the water pump chuck all the water out?
The water pump doesn't smell burnt at the pump end that goes into the water tank but I don't know where else the smell might be coming from if it is an electrical issue associated with the pump.
I let it dry out for about 7 hours and drove an hour home and it was fine (did wait 7 hours for the AA who didn't turn up).
Any advice about what to do next would be greatly received.
Happy fathers day right!
Cheers
