You can. It won't hurt anything. A tank is a tank, they are all made exactly the same. But the problem is more likely, you've got food particles stuck to the bottom of the tank or the sides.
An easier solution, just like your black tank, fill it with a few gallons of water and pour in a half gallon of bleach, take it for a drive for 20 minutes so the contents can slosh around real good and break all those particles and stuck on foods away, then come home and drain the tank immediately. Then fill the tank again to flush the bleach.
It will remove all food particle, and the bleach will clean the inside of the tank, and it won't smell (like crud) any more.
We do this about twice a season, black and grey tanks. (we have 3 tanks).
