Re: [A/S] Black Tank (was Pickup (and other) Questions)



Um, the thing is you want to get enough liquids in the black tank to be sure 
to flush out the solids..... if you don't you will get what's known as "the 
Black Pyramid" which will be very difficult to remove.

The best time to dump the black tank is after you've driven so everything is 
churned up.

If it does get packed with dry solids you can put water in it and some bags 
of ice, then drive and the ice will slosh around loosening the hard stuff.

Always close your gray tank valve a day or a shower or two so before you dump 
the black tank.

Dump the black tank first...... close the valve, then dump the grey tank..... 
the grey tank contents will clean out the stinky slinky.... (c:

Some people will advise you to leave the black valve open..... I disagree 
with this because you don't want any black stuff to slosh into the grey tank.

With the Sewer Solution..... you can dump the black tank as much as you want 
because it gets up in there and cleans everything... www.sewersolution.com
