You posted this same topic on Face Book and were given the same answer, close your grey tank valve, as well as your black tank! Problem solved, oh but you might have to go out every couple of days and drain the tanks? Don't try and take short cuts.

Black AND Gray tank valves closed all the time and only opened when dumping. When parked with full hookups it takes all of 2 minutes to go out and pull 2 valves.
Leaving that gray open allows all the grease, food stuffs, soap scum raw chicken juice, etc to harden and stick to the bottom of your tank AND "stink"!
And now no amount of plain water will get it completely off the bottom. The tank NEEDS water in it to prevent that from happening.
Since you left that valve open all this time all that stuff is glued to the bottom of your tank.
The stink from a gray tank smells just as bad as sewer gas and will fill up your RV.
Get a quart bottle of lemon cleaner from the store and pour it down into your gray tank with a full tank of water added and let it sit for awhile and then dump. Repeat if necessary. AND then keep those valves closed. :C
It may not have been you, but the wording was exactly the same, and the answer was exactly the same, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VALVES OPEN, FILL THE TANKS AND THEN DUMP! NO SHORT CUTS!!!
