Urgent Filled water tank, water pouring out

I hope someone can help. Filling water tank and water to half way, then noticed noise of running water outside. On opposite side of van it is pouring out. When I take out plug in tank it comes out in different place.

Your dump valve has opened on your boiler because of the temperature drop, probably.

Should be a small valve that you pull up to stop it dumping somewhere on the pipes from the boiler, there are a few different ones. So you will need to search.

You MIGHT need to switch heating on to stop it dumping, heating only, not hot water.

Its easy to do but you will have to tell us what make and yr your van is so we can help you locate the valve its at your boiler but exactly where can be tricky to find have you contact with previous owner or dealer they will know where it is

Putting heating on will not stop it dumping, I worded that wrong. But it will allow the dump valve to stay closed. If you get what I mean :)

Thank for advice. It's Burstner. Phoned dealer. He advised it is beside boiler or maybe where toilet casette is. Will check when I get home from the grocery shopping.

Use a blow heater for a few minutes, aimed at the valve it will allow it to stay closed to see if that's it

I didnt know you could do that with no water in the boiler , im a newbie to this type of boiler myself , this would also stop it dumping when filling the boiler in cold weather I was using a peg to keep valve shut >_<
