Spanner for fresh water inspection tank

[Wilson61]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and just acquired a LWB T32 fully converted I would like to know is there a specific tool for undoing the inspection cover on the onboard fresh water tank, I could use a pair of grips but that would obviously chew up and mark the round plastic screw cap.

Tap one edge with a cloth and small hammer?

I'm not aware of any spanner as such but you could make your own out of ply .
2 pieces cut to fit the finger holes in the cap, a disc to screw these pieces to and a handle of some description to provide the leverage.

Hi, thanks for the swift reply, I'll try that then, do they not make a spanner for this then or once I get it undone, should it only be done up finger tight, also I presume this is where I drop in the sterilizing tablets to clean the tank any advice on this would be appreciated.

Now that sounds like a good plan, thanks for your suggestion.

Make something simple from wood, you’ll be doing this more than once and a piece of soft wood won’t chew it up.
Put it back in hand tight, it will always be harder ro remove than install due to the O ring.
