Water Pump

[gelswick]

Summerizing the Monty to use for a few weeks. Pumped water into holding tank to drain the antifreeze out, The pump runs forever after all the water is turned off. It may stop for a moment but than starts running again. Can't find any leaks. Anyone have a fix for this?

If you are still pumping water like it should the only thing I could thing of would be a leak on the suction side of your pump. Look for a loose clamp, cracked or kinked hose. or possibly a clogged suction screen on the pick up tube going into tour tank.

Hope this helps...

My first idea is the same problem I had. Outside my unit has the fresh water power fill where you can fill your tank when hooked up to city water. The T Valve is on the inside water pressure system. With the pump on it is trying to keep pressure up while the power fill is letting inside water flow into the tank.
Open your convenient center where you would hook up water and check that valve setting.

Most likely the fresh water fill value, as John Kohl said. I have done that many times, and it surprises me every time. You would think as many times as I have done it, I would go right to it, but usually takes me few minutes to trace it down.

Yes the fill valve was on, but turning it off did not help. Supposed to be nice here in Moab today so will remove the panel to look and see if any thing needs tightened.

Ron (nunya) is a wealth of info both about the area and about RV'ing. Also met a gentleman here that pilots the sight seeing flights in the summer. He volunteered to take us on a personal tour flight tomorrow.
