<div dir="ltr">David, it takes two solenoid valves so one is at the top when at surface and one when it is submerged. There is a vent pipe below pointing toward the centre of the sub. There will be a stopper to prevent the tank from going above the other MBT's. that height will be determined when I put it in the test pool.</div><div dir="ltr">Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
