Nah. Drinking tank water is just fine I tells ya! ;) Maybe it's the water up here in Vancouver BC, but I have yet to have any issues with a dirty *looking* water tank. I have cleaned it at least a few times. That said, if I'm low on drinking water, tank water is boiled for coffee or tea. Otherwise, it's for dishes and brushing teeth. Neil.

Drinking water comes in plastic jugs, and is filtered at home. That being said, I did clean the water tank on Lola when I first got her, using common household bleach. I don't think I've ever tried the water though. What did you use to fill the tank with? Standard garden hose? Those make the water taste horrible. > > -- Neil Nicholson '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines |
