We are still gauge stupid!

[badkat]

We are full-timers for the past yr and a half and of course gauges do not work well for the grey and black tanks. I believe Tank 1 is grey..spouse says other..it is black. So Tank 1 is black/grey and tank 2 is black/grey. Which is it...not clear in the manual..this is a 1999 Excella 28' and as you read YES we are still learning. Been safe thanks to you guys.

Recently we have stopped for 4 months and major flushed the black tank and a gauge started to work. Tank 2.

So which is it?

Thanks again guys..think you have saved our lives a time or two.

Maybe this post should go in the plumbing section? Sorry, newbie here so can't actually answer your question. Tom

If gauge calibration is an issue check out the current Spring issue of Airstream Life. Most understandable and detailed article on Guage Callibration I have read.

Are you trying to figure out if tank 1 or 2 is your black tank? If so, hook into a sewer using your 4" sewer hose. Open tank 1 gate. Put a garden hose into the toilet. Run some water. If you can hear water running thru the sewer hose - tank 1 is black. If no noise. Turn off the garden hose. Close tank 1. When u open the tank 2 gate u should hear tank 2 drain- which is the black tank.

Seems simple. Am I missing something?
