Emptying Mk 4 water tank

[Explorer_John]

Hi all
I want to give my water tank a flush out and then re-fill it for a trip. I've taken the bottom hatch cover off but can't budge the water pipes after removing their clamps. Any ideas for getting the hose off?
Cheers
John

I use a screwdriver to gently ease the hose off. Have planned to install a tap but its still on 'the list'.
When we first got our Mark 4 I had the same concern, but Track reassured me its just gently does it.

Good luck!

Thanks - it's always a concern about how much force to use.

Connect a drill pump to the outlet and suck it dry. That way you flush the lines as well.  Milton baby bottle wash does a good job.
I add the Milton then use the pump to cycle the water round for 30 min giving it a chance to kill everything off. Then drain and flush. Fill the day before we head off. Ready to rumble
