Yes,

I had the same problem 2 years ago and followed Stuart’s advice. I no longer have water pouring down the outside of my van when I turn on the water. Eric Caron 85 GL Auto

I don't think there would be much back pressure from the small pump that would force water out at the connection. It dribbles down the outside of the van but I'm worried it also may be leaking down the inside behind the kitchen. Any ideas on this? >> spencer > > -- > David McNeely
