Camping World fixed our newly purchased 02 5th wheel stored ten yrs. Black water tank "debris" like concrete. Camping World poured 4 gal of bleach in tank. Three hours later debris lifted away from inside walls and dissolved almost entirely. Filled tank with water, agitate contents or move unit to shake tank. Drain. Contents mostly a slurry by then.
Level sensors had only showed full before clean out. Work now!
Camping World advise their customers to use a good amount of bleach in blk water tank after each trip before dumping. Especially before winter storage. And we do ever single time. Hope this post offers you a better outlook concerning RV black water tank operations.

I have a 1995 Toyota corolla and I recently noticed I had a gas leak I sealed the hole with JBL epoxy to hold me over until my new tank arrives but it looks as if there is oil mixed in with the gas .

Keep checking the oil level and the transmission fluid level to make sure they stay full, but there should be no oil in the gas tank.
There may be water, however, and it may be brown like oil.
Water will sit in the bottom of the tank and make rust underneath the gasoline, since gasoline floats on water.

Unclog black water tank

what do you mean by unclog? If you mean when you open the dump valve and nothing comes out but you know the tank is full then I suggest this hydroflush. It works pretty well for cleaning out the tank even if it isn't clogged as long as you don't have too many bends or fittings between the drain cap and the valve.

What is the best way to winterize a 2013 cougar high country travel trailer

Pull bottom plug out of hot water heater tank let all water drain. Then open all water tank drain valves and be sure your RV is tilted so it will drain towards the valve. Go in RV access water heater valves put it in bypass so no antifreeze can enter water heater tank. Pump RV antifreeze with hose provided into all water lines throughout RV by turning on your main water pump after you have stuck the bypass hose in a new and full antifreeze bottle, then flush toilet until red antifreeze comes out. Open all faucets one at a time until red antifreeze comes out. I use 3 gal but some only use one, the more the better it’s cheap at Walmart. Don’t forget to run outside shower until red antifreeze comes out also, very important or it will crack in the cold. Finally make sure black and grey tanks are empty and flushed at your last camp trip before winterizing. Pour antifreeze in toilet and all drains making sure first that black and grey tank shut off valves are pushed in and closed. Get a quality cover and store RV, it makes a huge difference on protecting roof and roofs lap sealant! All RV antifreeze is non toxic and you just drain it all at your first camp stop after winter! Note: don’t forget to put water heater ionizer drain plug back in wrapped with new white Teflon tape and take water heater valves out of bypass! Draw a diagram of regular mode and winter bypass mode so you don’t forget especially hot and cold water heater blender valve between the two MUST be shut off after you unwinterize
or you will cool your hot water unwanted and have no hot water to use! Happy Camping folks!

Same thing is happening to me.

Have you emplied the water tank? There is a float switch that turns the unit off when the water tank is full of water.
