the water is siphoning out of the tank, try hooking the pipe up above the level of the water in the tank.

I lost about 400 litres from my van tank early on like that.  I changed over the hoselock fitting because of a small leak.  I didn't notice that I had replaced the stop end with a fitting that, although it looked the same, wasn't actually a water stop.  Oops !!
