Hi, the size of the tank is 50 gallon (approx 200l ) .The overflow tube runs through the the wet locker/closet in the head and exits out into shower bilge. The only time i have air in my lines is when i let the tank get down. In the manual section of the forum there is a F32 manual which is very good.

We have a F32 and the water tank vent goes to the bilge. At first I thought this was odd but now find it okay. When the tank is full,it vents to the bilge and you can see water entering the bilge and secure the fill hose. Having the vent exit elsewhere (perhaps higher) might put too much head pressure on the tank. Only negative is securing the inlet water before the bilge pump is activated so sometimes its nice to have a second person monitoring the bilge when filling the tank from above.
