A little brisk braking and speedy driving off revealed more problems with the current watertank design. Especially when driving off at a high speed, with a full tank, the water gets pushed against the fill dish and the pressure forces it out of the opening. I will have to replace the fill dish with a marine deck fill or install either a shut-off valve or check valve.
