sticky black tank release valve
Our black tank release valve is increasingly difficult to pull open. Is there a product which would help or am I looking at a new valve? Thanks. Jim

This is the first RV I have owned with the Sanicom system and it includes a flush valve for black and one for gray and a water hose connection. I love it and it seems to really help the sticky valve situation.
Before, I have used the old coconut oil trick in the tanks when the rig is going to not be used a while and it seems to help keep the sticky or leaking valves in better shape.
I have thought about flushing the tanks and then pouring about five gallons of hot soapy water into them and letting it set for a while.
As to the rods or cables (I have had both) I just clean them ocasionally and lubricate. I use a grease the garage door repair guy gave me to lubricate the rollers on the door. It is great stuff and is a light white lithium grease.
Anyone tried to help valves with a few gallons of hot water in the tanks?
