I know this has been on here before but I can't remember the fix for it. The front bag is losing water when filled what do I need to fix this problem.

I recently rerouted my fill hose and added a check valve. I've tested it once and it seems to hold water much better than in the past.

I beleive Walter added a fill loop when he did his setup to prevent passive filling. I haven't checked to see if my setup is doing that.

There are a bunch of ways to go about fixing this problem but the easiest is to just reach in there and close the valve after you fill it up, I went to the trouble to put in one of the vented loops by the glove box, and it worked perfect, but now I took out all the fittings and fill the bag on top of the seat with a tsunami pump. Takes a bunch more water on top but it helps the surf wave getting 300 more in there.
