Those are my go to town/go to meeting tires!

[@LiboKJ42]

the passenger side tank has a whole in it, it comes with a bung to plug or one with a nipple and a bit of hose to run up, which did you use?

[@johnwalker3263]

I have the vent line. The air gets trapped with the plug and the tank will not fill.

Thanks for info. Unfortunately, it seems the new red reliance cap does not thread onto the water tank. I think I'm going to have to buy a second AEV cap and modify it. That said, it seems that even the AEV supplied cap doesn't fully thread onto water tank. Did you find the same? or do I maybe have defective threading on my tank?

[@johnwalker3263]

I think your situation is typical. For whatever reason none of the replacement caps fit my tank as well as the original. I have the white one from the aev pump kit and a black replacement cap I just purchased from aev. They’re both hard to screw on and don’t like to seat. I suspect it has something to do with the depth of the threads, not the pitch. For what it’s worth, all three are branded reliance on the underside.

I did a little more investigating and got out some calipers. In my situation, the outside diameter of the threads on the tank are slightly bigger then the inside diameter of the cap. I suspect that if I wrapped it in some emery cloth and worked it down a bit the replacement caps I own will fit better. I’ll try that and make an update video to show what the ultimate fix is.

@@johnwalker3263 ​ Really appreciate the detailed response and good to know my situation appears to be typical. I reached out to AEV as well, but no response yet. I'll keep an eye out for your update and will let you know if I solve the issue in the meantime.
