The same thing happened to my black tank’s valve at the beginning of the camping season last year. Discovered a paper towel had been flushed down the toilet. I cut a slit in the side of an old garden hose and capped the end hoping I could blast water into the seal, but the blade had wedged the paper towel into the seal too tight for the water to dislodge it; also unsuccessfully tried using a coat hanger. Disassembling my valve was a last resort as I cannot access one of the four bolts without removing the panel under the tank. I attached a third twist-on knife valve as a temporary fix thinking the paper towel would eventually just disintegrate. While dumping the tank this summer, the valve finally closed completely--works good as new.
