How many floor / levels does my black tank have?

[Henry Claeys]

Randy. (1) Thanks for your reply. Jim March had suggested a high pressure
wash from above, through the commode, while your suggesting the reverse. Were
you also suggesting a high pressure wash? (2) I don't have a high pressure
washer. Which type/brand should I purchase if the high pressure washer is
necessary. (3) Drain Valve. FYI, I had purchased a simple replacement valve
because the old one was getting hard to close. I was planning on installing it
over the weekend but then this happened meaning that I now have a new job to
deal with before replacing the valve. Any advice on this matter is appreciated.
Thanks. Henry@... 1979 FC 35, McAllen, Tx

the tank is one level (two story outhouse?) and it has no baffles.sounds like
all the liquid ran out leaving you a paper mache pie in the bottom.you may have
to run a hose up the drain outlet to balst it free,wear a raincoat and wear
gloves!! then,lets figure out the valve not closing deal! randydupree93wb

1) I suspect that my black tank has a problem because I discovered,
after 3 weeks of use, that the drain valve was not closing completely.
(2) What confuses me is, even after apparently emptying the black
system, I still see water when I look down the hole through the
commode. Why is there water in the tank below the commode even after
emptying the black tank? I never used to notice the water until I
discovered the above described drain problem. Thanks.

going down from the top is fine,as long as your drain is open.i have seen the
drain pipe full of the "mud" as well as the tank,which will not allow it to
drain.you may have to go at it from the bottom and the top,just make sure that
it is draining so as not to flood the coach. a simple replacement valve must
mean another type or brand valve?that means you will have to cut and glue the
pipe etc.if you just fix the valve on the coach it takes only 5 minutes and $22
