LOL! So...... Your s$%& don't stink and it'll take a few days of hot weather for it to? 😉
Apparently by your smartarse response you have never RV'd for any length of time in the deep south. Forgive me for even thinking of trying to help answer your question.:R:R

After dumping the tank I run the sprayer but with the dump valve closed. I know that's not what's recommended but it's what I do.
I do the same.. Any reason why it's not recommended? Mine has a warning label.. Seems to be the easiest way to fill the tank when flushing.

If your system works properly, it won't come out of the can but will come out of the roof vent. I have overflowed mine a few times (near final rinse) so I know :S

The next thing he knew there was a loud boom and a bunch of foul smelling water came pouring out of his sealed underbelly. The black tank was split along the bottom from stem to stern. Despite that I still close the valve and let the sprayer fill the tank.

I see a lot of proponents of the GEO Method. From my limited experience with this subject the GEO Method seems to be a lot of work, is counterproductive to maintaining a black tank system, uses excessive nutrients and poison, and is more expensive than using the product I previously described.
How much mixing and pouring does one have to do with the GEO Method? A lot.
Why does the GEO Method attempt to disinfect the black tank only for it to be "infected" all over again? I don't know, seems superfluous.
Why does the GEO Method essentially kill the beneficial aerobic bacteria that help with odor control and waste decomposition? That is counterproductive.
I'm sure the GEO Method has a lot of satisfied users. But I look at black tank maintenance as wanting something simple, easy, effective and relatively benign. With Happy Camper you only use an ounce of the material (53 cents) dissolved into the black tank with a gallon or two of water to treat 40 gallons of black tank. Then you just use your system until its time to dump. No odor, a free-flowing waste material to dump, and a well maintained black tank.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I have not tried this yet, but you may want to look into the GEO Method
