There are a total of six 3/8" threaded ports on the Valterra RV Water Tank part # R8030. There are two on the top of one end and two on the bottom of the other end. There is also a center port on each side. Only one of the holes comes tapped from the factory which is the one with the red cap on it. The other ones would need to be punched out to use. Basically you will want to flip the tank over so that the holes on the top are towards the Valterra City Water Inlet part # A01-2000VP. This is going to allow you to fill the tank all of the way to the top. I am sure once you get the tank in front of you it will all make more sense.
