Fresh Water Tank Overflow Condition

[Wayfinder]

Has anyone taken a pic of the inside of their fresh water tank overflow, near the walk-in door?  Here's mine.  Looks like there's a metal screen falling apart.  At least my tank won't blow up like a ballon and warp the trailer. That's something. 🫣

I'm wondering if this inside piece does unscrew from what appears to be the outer ring.

Good question, never thought about it. Perhaps the screen serves to keep critters out.

My wife mentioned seeing that incident on the FB page. Was a cause ever determined? I gather the overflow line did work. Too much pressure going in? Another reason to always have a pressure regulator on your hose, even when filling the tank.

That's all I can figure happened - the overflow got blocked. Since my screen in the overflow is falling apart with rust, it's letting most of the water out fast.  I was wondering of those plastic strands, from making the tank holes, blocked that person's overflow, instead of going through the pump screen.  When I purchased my #110 used in 2021, the pump screen was full of those strands from the drill holes.  But have not seen them since.

I also got push-back that the trailers do not have built-in 40-50 lb water regulators.  Well, mine came with them in the basement, under the floor board (discovered last year when replacing check valves).  I typically push 70 PSI of house water into my fresh tank all the time.  Now I'm scared to let overflow too long just to help flush things.  So far, so good though.  Knock on fiberglass.
