I received a small bottle of tank cleaner with my Class A. It was dark blue in color and worked very well. In fact better than any thing I have used in the past. This blue stuff cleaned the level sensors and the tank completely. No smell when dumped. The bottle got away before I realized how good it was.

Anyone know the name of this cleaner?

Many thanks,

Duncan

Often the tank additive included with the rig is not something you want to use. IN fact. if I recall correctly (BIG IF THERE) the blue stuff often contains a chemical that will get you banned in many parks.. I could check, I think I still have mine, Still sealed.

I really do not recommend any chemicals,, but if you must, you must

There are two ways to clean the sensors that seem to work..

I made my own tank flusher.. Now, as it turns out, years later, I found that there is a company (Valterra) which makes one that is almost identical to mine (It is called the Master Blaster) Look it up.. Here is my design

1/2 inch PVC, cap one end, hose fitting on the other

Drill a hole (mine is 7/32", but "About 1/4" is the proper size, that was the first "Quarter inch" bit I grabbed" in the side of the cap,

Or, put on an elbow, short nipple, cap and drill the center (how I actually did it, but if I do it again I'll use the side drill)

That is it.. The pipe is long enough to reach the bottom of the tank without my bending over.

I feed it via a 3-part feeder.. (I'm kind of security .. Well, paranoid) Thefirst item is a ball valve (Quarter turn valve) I had lying about, this is a garden hose "in-line" valve, Then comes a Spring Check Valve, then a standard vacuum breaker.. Then the adapter to match the male fitting on the end of the pipe (I re-used a pipe that had that fitting already on it)

Result: IT blasts the wall clean (you aim the jet toward the sensors)

The other method, which requires a pair of dump sites one at each end of a trip, is the GEO method

Dump tank

Add 1/2 cup Calgon Water Softener, 1/2 cup DAWN regular dishwashing liquid (NOT anti-bacterial) five to 10 gallons of water (I used six)

Drive, 50miles or so

Dump

Sensors WILL show full (And if you look you will see why,, Soap bubbles) but after a day or two when the bubbles pop, they will show EMPTY.
