Default Adding vents to Smiley bags

an image to staniforthjim?yahoo?com removing the questionable bits and
replacing with the usual?


I'll try to remember to send it this evening. If you don't receive it
drop me an email using the "reply to author". My profle email is
valid.

The only picture I have may not show all the details and the system is
long gone.

The basic idea was was as follows. I had a 50 gallon tank in the bed
of my Malibu station wagon. A marine bilge pump fed the water to the
base of a 2 (?) inch pvc stand pipe that located on the hinge line of
the tail gate. The base of the stand pipe had 2 ports - the inlet,
and the outlet to the glider fill hose. The top of the pipe located
on the tailgate glass latch pin. About 3 inches from the top of the
standpipe was a T fitting and a pipe fed from that T back to the top
of the ballast tank.

The recirculating stand pipe will only work with a tank system. For
use off a faucet I had intended to design a stand pipe with a header
tank and float valve but never needed it and never built it.
