Lil' Stanker

[Ernie Ekberg]

Last summer, I got a rebuild kit for my toilet. I took it outside and tookit apart. Cleaned everything I could get to. Scraped off the ball and installed the rebuild parts. Works as designed. The only odors I receive are from the power roof vent in the bath, if the wind is blowing a certain direction.

The prints show two but I do not think it was installed because I cannot find it. Mine is screwed onto a stand pipe under the galley sink. It is black. If it leaks it will smell. There probably is an anit-siphon in the toilet line. I saw a post with the name the other day but cannot remember now. It is probably near the toilet or in a closet close to the wall. They leak also causing odor.

Some questions: 1. How do I check the vent for a blockage? 2. What else could I do to find the source(s) of the smells? I don't have a washer/dryer and I keep my p-traps full of water by regularly using the sinks & shower. My toilet, however, does not hold water for long - if I fill the bowl, it will be empty after a few hours. Should I replace it? (Is this difficult? It's a straight-drop, not an air toilet) If so, any recommendations on what type of toilet to buy? 3. If anyone has installed the in-line Lil' Stankers, I'd like to hear more on where you put them / how you accessed the vent lines. I'd prefer the in-lines over the roof mounts, but it looks like it would be very difficult to install and service the in-lines.
