I have been using this method for years. Grey and black sensors are working great.
When we go out I insure that the bottom of the black tank is covered with water.
Daily we add Walex Bio-Pak and Porta-Pak capsules.
After we get back I will add water to black tank so it is at least 2/3 full. I will add water to the grey tank and dishwashing soap.
I then take it for the final dump and use black tank flush.
Both grey and black sensors always read empty at this point.
When we go out the black tank will read accurately if we stay in one place. If we drive with a partially filled tank it can slosh and read higher than it actually is. If we dump without flushing then the sensors will read whatever the previous highest level was.
I can always look in the toilet to see what the black tank level is.
Both grey and black tanks are 40 gal. so we have never filled them.
