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.
