The tank has a volume of 95 l and is located in the se- ating arrangement. The tank is filled with fresh water by means of the filler neck on the side wall. The neck for filling up fresh water is marked by a blue cap and a picture of a water tap on the upper edge of the frame. The screw cap is opened and closed by means of the enclo- sed key for exterior flap locks and the door of the structure. If you fill too much water into the tank, the excess will run out at the filler neck.
