The consensus here seems to be that sensors, especially those on black tanks, are pretty much worthless. Not necessarily disagreeing with that, but I have been able to keep mine more or less working by using Digest-It in the tank a couple times a year. I usually empty the tanks first, then toss in a cup of Digest-It and enough water to bring it above the faulty sensor. In my case it's usually the 2/3 full one. Normally when I do this it's after returning from a camping trip so it sits in the tank until my next outing. I then dump it when I reach my destination, so the travel sloshes the liquified******around in the tank.
I have noticed with the sensors that they can be very sensitive. I can dump my tanks and have them read zero, but on the trip home (about 10 miles), the sloshing of the small amount of remaining liquid can cause them to read 1/3 full when I get home. After an hour or so they drop back to zero though.
