It is Tuesday, 12 August as of this post, I just dumped the tank Sunday night, the 10th, and the sensors, which has shown 2/3 as of Sunday, are showing full again, so I am going to dump the tank and take the wand to it again. Once I'm done, I'll check the sensors again, fill the tank and see what kind of capacity I come up with, again, and post an update. I am using a Camco flexible wand hose, if that matters.
In the meantime, any suggestions for cleaning the tank while it is stationary would be appreciated.
Update: After dumping and wanding the tank, filling with about 20 gallons (I was shocked), dumping again, and filling with 5 gallons, the sensor is showing 2/3 full again.
