Sewage Leakage

[sadiesassy]

Curious what other do?

A couple times I have had some black tank liquid leak by (no solids)
- usually not getting the hose on correctly.

I am curious how people deal with it.

Spray chlorox on it?
Add Lime?

HMMM maybe we should spray down the dump stations with bleach before we leave?????

Make all your hose connections first, then pull the handle. Quit worrying about what's left over in the pipes that may spill out as soon as you remove the traveling cap.

First thing I bought for mine...right after I got a shower draining it for the first time! Best thing to put on EVER !!!

I installed another 3" drain valve in horizontal section of main drain line just before the end cap. No storing of the extra valve (twist on) or having to put it on/take it off.......twist on would stick out/down to far to leave on.

Mine has been hanging on for 25,000 miles. I put it on so the handle faces the front. Never had a problem with it coming loose or moving. No plans to take it off ever. If it ever loosens up I'm gluing it in place!

I would just hose down the area and be done with it.

"it's gonna hurt nothing." or *aint gonna hurt nothin'

Point is a little spillage/leak is not going to damage the balance of nature.


Howdy neighbor :B

Oh my god call the EPA and the hazmat team and declare it a superfund site just kidding really just spray it down with a little bleach and then rinse it with water and all will be ok then find out why the hose is not fitting correctly if need be get a new hose

push on and turn NOT Child proof

If you talking about just a little spillage, like maybe an ounce, I don't worry about it. Just spray the area down with the rinse hose.

What is causing you to not get the hose on correctly?
