Re: [VAL] caravel pumps and valves

[Alan McKay <alan@xxxxxxx>]

I too, have a '68 Caravel, and only this weekend put water in it for the 
first time. I'm
sure to have more questions, but my first one deals with the two valves that
reside very close to my pump. One appears to be simply a drain valve; 
i.e., when it's
open, water drains out that little tube beneath the trailer; what is the 
other valve
for? Is it the one that allows water, when it's open, to flow out into 
the rest of the
system? i.e., alternately, if I shut it, will that stop the water from 
flowing? and is
this it's sole function? (and yes, I have the same water pump switch at 
the kitchen
sink that Gerald alludes to below).

Thanks,

Alan
