Automotive vs. RV antifreeze
Can I use regular automotive antifreeze in the black and gray water tanks and sink traps or must I use the RV antifreeze? I am in NE AR and only blow out the water lines to winterize our MH.

Scott you are completely wrong. From the EPA, "Antifreeze is toxic to humans and animals. Waste antifreeze contains heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and chromium in high enough levels to potentially make it a regulated hazardous waste, so most states strictly regulate antifreeze disposal."
Do you want that stuff in your water system or environment? It is totally irresponsible to dump any amount down the sewer.
Your scolding the guy for asking about putting it in his water lines.
READ HIS POST. He said he blew the water lines out.
As far as the sewer - per our local sewer company, the process will remove it in small quantities. You wouldn't want to dump drums of it down there but in small amounts it does not hurt anything. I would not dump it in a home septic system.
