grey water level indicator/sensor not reading accurately

[gasman777]

2018 imagine 2800 bh offered several different issues after not using for a couple months. One problem I noticed when leaving the campsite is that even after I drained both grey water tanks, one showed 1/3 full and the other showed 1/2 full....I've had the black water tank "stick" before for obvious reasons but never the grey. Any ideas?

You can try and fill the tanks 1/2 full and add Dawn and a TIED pod, then drive around a while and let it slosh around. You probably have food partials or soap/hair on the sensor. Otherwise if possible snake a cleaning wand up into the tank if possible.

Sensors on the tanks are notoriously known for inaccurate readings.

Just putting it out there, but are you sure the tank(s) are actually empty?

I assure you there is a point to this story, but we were at a dump station once and the person at the lane beside us goes to remove his sewer cap. Now this lane was driving in the opposite direction as ours, so his sewer outlet faced us. Anyways, I will spare you the details of what I observed coming out, but let's just say his black tank was obviously leaking (a lot), and I just watched in horror. What's the point of all of this? Well, it was that nasty distraction that stopped me from noticing our trailer was leaning the wrong way, and after I finished at the dump station, the trailer was actually still over 1 /3 full on each tank. I go to a different station after I noticed this, that was sloped the right way, and there was still a good amount of volume that drained out.

Just a thought

Understood, I initially thought the same thing despite my bubbles showing close to level....so I proceeded to back onto some blocks to raise the side opposite the the drain/dump, and had the same problem.

I like the idea of some Dawn/Water before our next haul, I might give that a shot.
