    FAQs
   
    Should I leave water in my RV black water tank?
    Yes!!  Having enough liquid in the tank is crucial to keeping it stink-free. 
    If you don’t have enough water in your black tank, the solids can pile up on the sides of the tank and can make it very hard to empty.
    This can also create a nasty stench.
    So, after you empty, add enough water so the tank is 1/3 of the way full.
   
   
    How long can black water stay in an RV tank?
    If you leave black water in your tank too long, the solid waste could start to dry up and get stinky.
     If your tank isn’t 2/3rds of the way full but you need to empty, add water until the tank is 2/3rds of the way full and then empty.
   
    Can you drive your RV with a full black water tank?
    Yes The tanks are designed to be full in a moving vehicle, so it’s really not an issue. 
    Plus, the water sloshing around inside can actually help the waste degrade. 
    I’d say dump when your tank is 2/3rds full just in case, 
    but if you have to drive around with a full tank, there’s really no issue there.
   
    Will my blackwater tank stink?
    It shouldn’t!
