Take a peek in your engine compartment and see if you can find some household gate valves. There will probably be four of them all lined up in a neat little row, Steve.

On our CD32, there’s a manifold of valves for the water tanks under the galley sink.

Our valves are under the sink. Four valves. The furthest forward is for the tank in the vberth, the second is for the aft tank in the cabin, the third is for the middle tank. What is the fourth valve for? :D :!:

Thanks.
