Benimar water tank thread

[Alan636]

Hi all,

we recently bought a 2019 Benimar Mileo 282 and the drain tap / cap ( not sure what was fitted originally ) for the fresh water tank was missing, I have tried to source one as has the dealer ( supposedly ) without joy! Just wondered if anyone knows the thread size of the tank? I have found that a tap off a collapsible water carrier fits but would prefer to fit something a little more robust, can anyone help please?

Alan.

Have you looked at www.leisurelines.net (CAK tanks) they may have what you need.

Hi thanks for taking the time to reply, I have been in touch with CAK tanks, no stock and not forthcoming with the thread size.

If its the one that's about 2.5" in diameter try an Ebay search for "IBC cap"

I have a feeling it might be 11/4“ bsp or 1 1/2” bsp but it’s only a gut feeling it’s certainly smaller than 2.5” but thanks for the reply.

Have you checked with dealer? They are fairly standard size. You could always take the collapsible container into a dealer to get the correct spare.

I used to have a 282 and bought a spare just in case I ever lost it. Unfortunately when I sold the van I left it in or I’d have sent it to you.

Thank you for the reply.
Stupidly I threw the collapsible container away when I found out the tap fitted, I am just thinking about buying another so I have a spare and if I do I will do just what you have suggested

If it helps it’s green

I presume that’s the cap that I have seen on YouTube? I would prefer to fit a tap similar to what would be fitted to a pond filter as the cap seems a stupid idea, wet clothes from water running down your arm etc!
Thanks for the reply though

No worries, it just proves all the stuff I collect in my garage will come in useful some day.
