You’ll want to dump for sure when you can’t take the smell any longer.
What kind of sensor is on black tank?
RV level gauges are usually a type of flat sensor or pair of rods that measure conductivity. Waste will accumulate on the black tank RV level sensor and it will show the same reading all the time.
Why does my holding tank read grey and black?
Water, just like metals, conducts electricity. Everyone knows you should never stand in water when there is a thunderstorm because you might get hit. If you are showing a full reading on your gray and black holding tanks, it is because electricity is flowing between the probes.
What’s the water level in the gray tank?
The gray tank shows 1/3 full when empty. Over the eleven years we full timed I tried everything people say will work and nothing worked. If I pressure wash the inside of the black tank (have done that twice), the level will be measured normally for a few months and then start to lie.

What should I do if my tank gauge is not moving?
First you should determine if there really is a problem with the gauge. Fill the tank to the top and note the level on your tank monitor gauge or information center. It the level has not moved, empty the tank and check it again.
