Exactly. Well not exactly but something very similar in mind. Using the clear elbow. But after listening to the responses and then doing a lot more research I’m thinking it may be as they’ve said above that it’s the valve. I went to YouTube and found very technical information from valve manufacturers that seem to describe my issue.
Since you’ve been kind enough to provide your thoughts, maybe I’ll pick your mind just a little further.
Solution # 2
As you say no solutions, especially replacing the valve with a full tank could spell disaster. So at this point I’m sure that I have to figure out a way to drain the tank in place, without spills before attempting the valve replacement. Problem.
Inside my RV I know where the tank vent comes up through the wall and I think I can easily gain access to it. I was thinking of cutting through the pipe several feet above the floor and then renting a pump, dropping the intake hose down into the full gray tank, the outlet hose into my toilet with the black tank valve open.
Opinion(s)?
Thanks regardless.
