I have a 1991 Bailey Pageant Magenta, I fill a 40l auqaroll and it's empty in 12 hours because the tap has a constant flow from it, the van has a Shurflo diapham pump running at 20psi and the kitchen tap is a microswitch type (in the van wiring diagram microswitch tap not shown). so is the tap the wrong type ? or can I repair it ?

your help would be greatly apreshiated. mark

Have you looked to see if the tap has a switch ? On my Bailey the tap is a mixer tap and has no switch fitted even though wires come off the tap.It may be a seal has gone on the tap.You have not said what type of tap it is to do a search for a repair outfit or,could you post a picture ?.

My taps all have microswitches, but none of them are connected as we have a pressurised system. It could be yours is the same.

If you have a pressurised system and a tap is leaking you could try turning the pressure down a bit as a short term fix but the chances are there is wear in the tap.
