Blank Tank Odor/Filling & Microphor Toilet
Curt,
When I purchased my coach the black tank was about half full. I think it had been that way for a while but no gas odor in the coach thank goodness. When you flushed it was rough. I emptied the tank washed it out with water a couple times and then closed the valve. I added about a half bottle of Dawn dish detergent and 35 gallons of water and went for an 80 mile ride. When I got back I emptied it and have not had a problem since. I pulled the toilet afterwards to put in a new china unit and no bad smell at all. It's good to do this to the gray tank also. When we are at a park near home I dump and wash out then add the Dawn and 35 gal. of water wash the tank on the way home. Fortunately I have a sewer dump in my shop.
