Robert, There can be a few reasons for this to happen but most frequently it is the spolan valve. In our 86FCRB the sporlan valve is under the driver side bed. Many times the diaphram gets a small piece of crud, (calcium whatever) or the diaphram may be worn out. NOT a problem, first of all I would switch the valve off/on several times with a small amount of pressure on the line and perhaps the crud will clear. If not you can take the valve apart without too much work and clean it, or you may need to buy a rebuild kit for it.

As with most of the repairs I perform on our coach, I feel it is pretty easy to repair correctly, and forget about it, than to "rig" it only to have a problem at the most inconvienent time. I you are going to have the valve out why not rebuild it?

Effectively, what is happening is the sporlan is not closing properly and allowing water to by-pass back to the tank, not allowing a pressure build up in the lines. Hence the pump continues to run.
