[A/S] Leaking black tank valve
My black tank valve lets a trickle of "water" out of it until the
tank is about 1/4 full. Then the valve seems to hold. Just worn out?
Always makes the job of dumping tanks unpleasant because the outlet
is filled with waste after a weekend of use.
In the event that I have to replace it, I've had the access cover
below the valves removed while doing some work on the tank level
monitors. The valve body has 4 bolts on it but I can't tell what
type of fitting is on the outlet of the tank and on the valve end of
the waste dump pipe. While I'm sure it's a nasty job to replace the
valve, can someone explain how the whole thing is put together? I
realize that I will have to put an extension on the handle.
This is a 1979 International 31' center bath.
Thanks,
Christopher
