Subject: BS: Physics/Water Question???...
Danged!!!

I been scratchin' my head all afternoon over this one...

Okay, here is the situation... I have this old Spartan tariler that I have been working on to use as a recording studio and a guest house and rigged me in a Wes Ginny ceptic system and put in a tiolet and sink and all new 1/2 PVC water line an all...

Then I took a 425 gallon tank which is mounted on a utility tariler and I filled it half full of wtare and towed it to a place that is approximately 5 feet higher than the ballcock valve in the toilet figuring that the water would find it's own level and therefore push 'nuff water thru the ballcock to fill the toidy tank... But nuthin'!!! Okay, if I loosen the hose clamp where the 100 foor garden hose hooks into the 1/2 PVC there is water there... Not alot of pressure but water... Then I put the hose back on the 1/2 PVC and nuthin' thru the ballcock???

I is stumped on this one... Do I need more water in the tank??? I don't think I can get the screw cap to tighten enough to put an air valve on the tank and compress the eair above the water...

Help???

I got company coming in three weeks and I gotta have this trailer (toilet) workin'...
