Water Tank Filler Neck

[snaps]

Hello All,

 

I am fitting my stainless water tank and it just so happens the filler neck on the Deck and the filler on the tank line up when the tank is in position. This creates a very short straight link up pipe to connect the Two. All other boats I have seen have a swan neck length of pipe? Apart from flexibilty in tank positioning is there any other reason for this, such as it acting as an makeshift anti surge when the tank is full etc?

 

Regards

My stainless steel tank has a simple straight pipe of a few inches length between the filler cap and the tank input. No problems whatsoever.

Can't see any advantage in a swan neck in a water tank filler.

 

If you have an integral tank, rather than a stainless or grp one, then there is no filler pipe at all usually. The filler cap usually discharges directly into the tank.

 

I'd say tou are lucky if they line up, as it will make filling easier.

Thanks for info, I agree it will fill better.
