I found out what happened today. I| filled the van tank and the float switch went off and I never switched off on the wall. When the auto filler came on a filled the tank and the float switch on and the flat hose was folded up and the pump overheated and bust open in the water. The pump must of been hot to heat the water to boiling point. Lesson learned. Got a new pump today.
