Putting Black Tank Chems in Grey Tank?
I'm getting a little odor from my sink drains. Will it hurt to put a little black tank chemicals down the drains into the grey tanks? Thanks Brian

We had a problem one time when we were camping in hot weather with grey tank odors from the kitchen area (has its own tank). I couldn't figure out where it was coming - trap was full and I even sealed the air admittance valve with a sandwhich bag and a rubber band. It still stunk so I dumped a bunch of chems down there.
Later on I think I figured out where the smell came from.
I pulled the fridge out one winter to fine-tune its install (it was along winter..) and found that the gey tank had a vent stack that came up next to the fridge and just dead ended about 6~10" below the ceiling. So if the fumes got bad enough they would just escape around the fridge.
I used a couple of fittings to extend the end of the pipe up into the roof vent for the fridge and never had the smell issue again.
