Is the 1 1/2" overflow the only vent for the fresh water tank?
The reason I ask is because whenever we use water from the tank, which we always do, or add water into the tank; it makes a gurgling noise.
That overflow hose drops down (see photo) and I think it always has water in the lowest part. I wanted to change that, but thought maybe it is there by design to prevent anything foreign from getting into the fresh water.
Dave, when you routed the hose over those tanks and across, did that eliminate that water trap? Or did you never have a trap like that?
Does it make sense to have that trap? It also occurs to me that could get stagnant. We push air back and forth through there, but I doubt if the water ever changes much.
Better to keep it that way or not?

When I re-routed the tank vent line I did not see any "Ptrap" as you show Dick, and frankly do not see a need for it. I never put more than 3/4 fill of water so do not have any worry of overfill. I would think if FT wanted  for this trap to be there they would have put some kind of check valve in that line so no back feed happens. I guess you should email FT to see if it was or was not intended.
