Further to last week's thread Persistence has Vetus 14.5 gallon bladder under stbd settee And Vetus 26.5 gallon bladder in vee berth. When I fill the bladders are almost over inflated with water to the point I cannot put the settee or vee berth support covers back in place without draining a bit. Wondering if this is normal and if I should be watching as they fill
On Saturday when filling both tanks there was a stream of water where the large inlet hose attaches to the 26.5 gallon bladder. It looked as though the bladder was taking a much needed pee. After running the water in galley for a bit combined with the peeing from the bladder (and subsequent bilge pump) it stopped leaking and seems to still have 18 - 20 gallons in the tank. Has anyone encountered this and is there a fix? Am not sure if is a tear in the bladder itself or a problem with the fitting where it attaches to bladder. Would the "goop" solution proposed last week work? Other thoughts? Mike Persistence Halifax, NS
