Chevrolet 190 Automobile User Manual


 
190 models are equipped with dual fresh water tanks. One tank is located in the vehicles interior, the other tank is
located on the vehicles exterior. 170 models are equipped with an exterior fresh water tank only.
The purpose of the dual tank system is to provide a separate fresh water system that can be used in sub moderate
freezing conditions.
The system can only function properly in either one of two modes.Summer use or winter use.All procedures to
change operation modes must be followed for proper operation.
Your vehicle is equipped with a water system for either completely self contained or fully dependent use.It is not
equipped with a pressure regulator to compensate for varying water pressure levels.
During self contained use, caution should be taken so as to minimize water consumption. For example,water
consumption can be reduced while showering if you turn off the shower between wetting down and rinsing off.
To avoid damage due to road vibrations, be sure not to store heavy or sharp objects where they may come into
contact with either the water lines or water pump. Also,allow sufficient room around the pump for proper
operation.
FILLING THE INTERIOR FRESH WATER TANK (190 Models only):
The interior fresh water tank can be filled through the gravity fill located on the passenger side of the rear door
opening, (see Picture G-P1).To fill the interior tank:
1. Open the rear passenger door.
2. Open the gravity fill cover by removing the orange
plug, (see Picture G-P1).
3. Insert the hose and fill the tank using moderate
pressure, (excessive pressure will result in a back
flow of water).
4. When the tank is full,water will overflow back
through the gravity fill hole.
5. Overfilled tanks will spill out through tank vents.
This is evidenced by water dripping from the rear
passenger side corner of van.
FILLING THE EXTERIOR FRESH WATER TANK (All Models):
1. Open the front driver side door.
2. Open the gravity fill cover by removing the orange
plug, (see Picture G-P2).
3. Insert the hose and fill the tank using moderate
pressure, (excessive pressure will result in a back
flow of water).
4. When the tank is full,water will overflow back
through the gravity fill hole.
5. Overfilled tanks will spill out through tank vents.

underside of the van.
