Black tank valve leaking

My black tank valve is leaking. Started out that it wouldn't close all the way, could tell where handle stopped when pushing in to close. Now the handle doesn't close by 1/4 inch, and tank is losing a lot of water. Has anyone found a chemical or something that would clean out the valve? We are living in camper now, so trying not to replace valve if I can come up with a way of fixing it until spring. Using a cutoff valve at end of line now so tank doesn't go dry.
